No, the SVN "Keyword Substitution" facility is the analog of what you
are used to from CVS... SubWCRev is different, with a different use.
SubWCRev effectively allows you to query some of the repo/wc meta-data
from outside of SVN. The classic case is to have it insert the
highest rev# of all the files in a WC into a file that is used by your
build process, thus giving you a "revision number" to show in, say, an
About box.
As you may have noticed, SubWCRev is part of TSVN, not SVN itself, and
so is documented in the TSVN help.
