The two possible solutions would seem to be:

1) cvs2svn doesn't store the expanded keywords in the first place;

2) Subversion is patched to unexpand keywords when checking out a file
(since it already handles diff against an unexpanded text-base).

I'm inclined to think that #1 is the most appropriate solution (on the
GIGO principle), but #2 is probably not /that/ hard to do (having spent
some time in that section of the code).
