This just means we have to parameterize the keyword expansion code so
that we can say "expand this text base with the same substitutions as
we used on the working copy."

I think it used to, but we turned that check off for everything but
"svn commit" after someone complained that it was difficult to recover
from having inconsistent newlines. You couldn't even "svn revert" at
that time, which was really bad, but you also couldn't "svn diff" to
find out where your problem was. Of course, it sounds like now, you
can successfully "svn diff", but it won't tell you where your problem
is.
