In CVS, I could checkout files with the a cvs checkout -kv
which would replace keywords with their expanded values. For example, what would otherwise be $Id: 1.23$
is simply 1.23
in the checked out version when using -kv
.
In one very specific use case, I found this handy.
Since migrating our repositories to SVN, I haven't been able to find an equivalent.
Is there one?
I'm aware of the svn propset svn:keywords "Id" file.txt
command required to enable the keywords, but this is about replacing the name + value of the keyword with just the value.
No, this is not supported as of Subversion 1.8. I guess that you might want to report this as a feature request to Subversion community. I suggest trying users@ Subversion mailing list first.
