RE: Keywords and subWCRev

Great. Now I don't feel stupid, because that is EXACTLY what I have done!
However it is still not being expanded or updated! I will go through and
check spelling etc etc.

I'll look in the book for other options like date to see if that works.

One thing did worry me though. You referred to a plain text document... does
that include MS Word, or have I just identified why its not performing as
expected?

No. As I said in my first reply, SubWCRev and keywords are completely
separate and have different functions.

The documentation for keywords is here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.props.html#svn.advanced.prop
s.special.keywords

For each file that you want keywords to be used in you have to set the
property svn:keywords to include the specific keywords you want to be
expanded.

TortoiseSVN->properties->add
Select svn:keywords
Add property names (case-sensitive) on-per-line in the 'value' box. eg.
Date
Revision

In your document (assuming it is a plain text document) include
$Revision$ in the text.

Commit the changes.

The keywords in your doc will be expanded to show the last commit
revision of the file as it exists in your working copy
