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? ++Vamsi On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 2:46 PM, Simon Nash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On April 1, I checked out a file from SVN.
