1) Do not use $Date$. It is not for you. It 1) uses local timezone, 2)
uses utf-8 regardless of the actual file encoding. Forcing a locale
would not solve 1).
2) Do not use $Id, if you have non-english characters in committer
login names or in file name (because of utf-8, see above)
Any other keyword is causing trouble?
