can i svn cat without keyword expansion

[Bob]

Hi,
If I do "svn cat" on a file, with the svn:keywords property set, it expands out
SVN keywords such as $Date$, $Revision$, $Id$, etc., in the file (the ones there
were included in the svn:keywords property anyway). Is there an option that will
NOT do the expansion? Or is there some other way of using the svn client that
will achieve the same thing? As I understand, the file is stored in the
repository with keywords not expanded, and the client expands them when it
retrieves them, so shouldn't it be trivial to have a functionality to skip this
step?
Thanks,
