I started composing an email to suggest just this, but then realized
that doing this would be pointless, because all old revisions would
still have this problem, and because you'd have to do the commits
across all the files in all the tags and branches. Untenable.

We already do something of the sort in the export case (though in
reverse -- we expand the keywords). It would possible cause yet
another performance hit in the checkout case, but at least would only
be triggered for files that have the keywords property set. And we
could always add an option for "not doing that."
