Subversion Keyword Expansion

By default, keyword expansion in Subversion is disabled. This means that keyword expansion must be enabled maually on a per-file basis. This can be changed to occur automatically from the client side via the configuration file for the Subversion client. To enable keyword expansion by default, follow the two steps below to edit the end of your ~/.subversion/config file:

1. Uncomment the 'enable-auto-props = yes' option under the '[miscellany]' heading like so:

   ... [miscellany] global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store build dist target enable-auto-props = yes ...

2. Add the following list of file types and their associated keywords and end-of-line style:

   ... [auto-props] *.bat = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:svn:eol-style=native *.bsh = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.c = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.cpp = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.css = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.dtd = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.groovy = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.h = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.html = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.java = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.jmx = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.js = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.jsp = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.jws = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.pl = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.pm = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.properties = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.py = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.rb = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.rdf = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.rss = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.sh = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable *.sql = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.txt = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.vsl = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.wsdd = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.wsdl = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.xhtml = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.xml = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.xsd = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.xsl = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.xslt = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native Makefile = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native *.bmp = svn:mime-type=image/bmp *.gif = svn:mime-type=image/gif *.ico = svn:mime-type=image/x-icon *.png = svn:mime-type=image/png *.jpeg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg *.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg *.pdf = svn:mime-type=application/pdf *.tif = svn:mime-type=image/tiff *.tiff = svn:mime-type=image/tiff INSTALL = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native README = svn:keywords=Id Revision;svn:eol-style=native
