Hi Simon,
Have you recently changed your Subversion configuration file to enable SVN
keyword expansion? The file in question is located:
Windows %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\config
Linux ~/.subversion/config
The value in question is enable-auto-props. If this is set to yes then it
will expand keywords. By default this value is set to no.
There were discussions on the dev list about this around the end of March
beginning of April. See:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org/msg29637.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org/msg29781.html
These discussions suggested changing the SVN config to enable keyword
expansion.
Perhaps this is the cause of the problem?
