I agree, it would be nice - but easier said than done.  Keyword
expansion happens in the client-side libraries; the server knows
nothing about keywords.  mod_dav_svn is entirely server-side, so
this would involve making it use some client APIs.

It may or may not be _hard_ to accomplish this hack, but I imagine
upstream will see it as a sort of layering violation.  And I don't
know that I have the energy to do it as a Debian-specific hack.

I'll ping upstream, see what they think.

Thanks,
Peter
