Even if this is implemented, there's an issue with all these keywords
with path/URL information in them: the expanded path is the one of the
revision that last changed the file, not the current one! For instance,
if the file is in a directory that has been renamed and the file hasn't
changed since, then the expanded path will become obsolete (mentioning
the old directory name).

For instance, after a "svn mv dir newdir" and commit:

$ cat newdir/file
$PathRev: dir/file, r2 $
$ svn pl -v newdir/file
Properties on 'newdir/file':
  svn:keywords
    PathRev=%P,%_r%r
$ svn info newdir/file
Path: newdir/file
Name: file
Working Copy Root Path: /home/vlefevre/tmp/svntest/wc
URL: file:///home/vlefevre/tmp/svntest/foo/newdir/file
Relative URL: ^/newdir/file
Repository Root: file:///home/vlefevre/tmp/svntest/foo
Repository UUID: c461bb2a-7775-4e63-8d8c-e8e280081214
Revision: 3
Node Kind: file
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: vlefevre
Last Changed Rev: 2
[...]

BTW, the documentation in
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html
is incorrect:

  %P
    The file's path, relative to the repository root.

should be

  %P
    The file's path of the revision given by %r, relative to the
    repository root.

AFAIK, "of the revision given by %r" applies to all format codes.
