On April 1, I checked out a file from SVN. Its version keywords were not expanded in my local copy. Yesterday I checked out the same file and the version keywords were expanded. This caused my attempt to apply a patch (derived from the previous checkout) to fail.
The file when viewed in SVN contains the header line * @version $Rev$ $Date$ My previous local checkout had the identical line. My current local checkout has the line * @version $Rev: 643696 $ $Date: 2008-04-02 04:24:11 +0100 (Wed, 02 Apr 2008) $ What is causing this line to now get expanded in my local checked out copy, and why wasn't it expanded when I checked it out previously?
