That is not a bug. See

http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#custom-keywords

which clearly states that the limit for keyword expansions is 255 bytes.
This limit is intentional and has been there pretty much since keywords
were invented in Subversion.

No; In Subversion, keyword expansions are single-line.
