The nice thing once all this has been fixed, is that SVN doesn't 
consider as being modified a file where expanded keyword have been 
replaced by their unexpanded counterpart. You can then use whatever 
diffmerge tool you want to sync 2.2 and 2.1, since only files having 
real differences (and not only a different $Id$) will show up in the tool.

Are other people interested in this small Id-unexpander script?
     

I am interested in that script.
   

Thanks Sylvain, perhaps add it to the ASF "committers" repository
in the "tools/".
 

Mmmh... not sure it deserves going there considering how quick-hacked it 
is :

---------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Unexpands all "$Id ....$" keywords from files having a certain prefix 
(i.e. replaces them by $Id$)
# The good thing with Subversion is that it doesn't consider as being 
modified a file where the
# keyword has changed

find . \( -name '*.java' -or -name '*.xml' -or -name '*.xmap' -or -name 
'*.js' -or -name '*.xsl' \) -print | while read file
do
 echo $file
 /usr/bin/sed -e 's/\$Id:.*\$/$Id$/' $file > ${file}.rmkw-tmp
 mv ${file}.rmkw-tmp $file
done
---------------------------------------------------
