need equiv. of cvs export -kv

Currently there seems to be no way to do an export from a svn repo and
have it automatically expand keywords such that an import of the code
at another site will not lose previous keyword information.
Eg. keyword "$Id: foo 127 2004-05-26 19:41:28Z jamie $" would be
exported as "foo 127 2004-05-26 19:41:28Z jamie"

I found a discussion of a similar feature request from December of
2002 in the dev list archives, and the outcome seemed to be "use a
script and do the substitution post-export" and while I don't have a
problem with that conceptually, its not quite as expediant as you
might imagine as you have to first check every file to see what
keyword properties it has set. I'd like to request that an option to
the export command be added which automates the process.
