Doesn't work. svn either expands them all, or none. The only way to
get selective is to use some quoting that does not affect the target
language's perception of the string but makes it not look like $Keyword$
to svn.

I don't know if perl likes

  if ('$LastChangedDate\$' eq '$LastChangedDate$')

or

  if ('$LastChangedDate\044' eq '$LastChangedDate$')

is legal in perl but anyway this specific check is equivalent to (Ruby)

  if '$LastChangedDate$' =~ /:/

(check whether the string contains a colon).

Or, to answer the subject line: As by the escaping rules of your content language.
