Original description

There are places in the tree where SVN keywords are being used in files yet the SVN keyword expansion, which is controlled by the file properties, does not appear to have keyword expansion enabled.
For a specific example of file look at this file:
http://code.google.com/p/arduino/source/browse/trunk/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/wiring_digital.c

See line 22:

Here is some additional discussion on the topic:

Without the properties enabled, no keyword expansion will happen
and users get stale (wrong) information
in the SVN keywords - which is not good.

This is not isolated to the single file above.
