SVN stores the keywords along with the file and does not store the expanded
keywords internally.  So, when the file is viewed in svn, it will show
"@version $Rev$ $Date$".  It is the svn client that expands these keywords
when the file is checked out.  These keywords have been added to svn after
your last checkout time.  For this reason the keywords have not been
expanded at your previous checkout.

What is the svn url for the file in question?
