+ To: dev@subversion.tigris.org

+ 
+ You know what I really want?  A keyword "$ThisRev$" that expands at
+ commit time to "revision N", i.e., it's not a keyword thereafter.
+ That way I could write comments like
+ 
+     /* As of $ThisRev$, this code no longer does blah, because [...] */
+ 
+ without having to guess at the upcoming revision number :-).
+ 
+ Of course, they way keywords are currently handled, one would still
+ have to set a property for $ThisRev$ to get expanded correctly, but
+ maybe we could make it a config option or something...
+ 
+ Thoughts?  Flames?  Rotten tomatos? :-)

+ 
+ How about a general-purpose syntax similar to $xyz$ which just
+ substitutes once?  Perhaps $OnCommit$xyz$?  I could see it being
+ useful for other keywords as well.
