Not to my knowledge.
Personally, I'd prefer that svn:keywords was entirely case-sensitive, just
like the actual substitutions. However, it's a bit late for that now.
The scheme seems to be LONG == case-sensitive, SHORT == case-insensitive.
Since "Revision", whilst being MEDIUM and thus a grey area, is similar to
"Date", "Author", etc., i.e. the SHORT keywords, I think it should follow
their pattern, and be case-insensitive.
