They are not. 'svn cat', or in your case calling svn_client_cat2(), will
return the contents of the file in the repository. It will not perform
keyword expansion or newline normalization. You need a working copy for
that; svn_client_cat2() does not use a working copy.
If you _do_ have a working copy, you'd compare the local file in the
working copy with the repository version with svn_client_status6(), or
svn_client_diff6(), both of which take irrelevant differences (i.e.,
keyword expansion and newline normalization) into account.
