SVN keywords being used yet SVN keyword expansion not happening

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are places in the tree where SVN keywords are being used in files yet the 
SVN keyword expansion, which is controlled by the file properties, does not 
appear to have keyword expansion enabled.
For a specific example of file look at this file:
http://code.google.com/p/arduino/source/browse/trunk/hardware/arduino/cores/ardu
ino/wiring_digital.c

See line 22:

Here is some additional discussion on the topic:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1277081988

Without the properties enabled, no keyword expansion will happen
and users get stale (wrong) information
in the SVN keywords - which is not good.

This is not isolated to the single file above.

Is this relevant any more, now that Arduino is using git instead of svn?

Actually, yes I believe that this is still relevant. (but not in the same way)
While git chose not to implement any sort of keyword expansion, all the
old/out-of-date expanded keywords still exist in the arduino source code.
The real issue at this point is having the out of date keywords in the code.
So I believe that the answer at this point is to simply go remove the keywords
from all the arduino source code modules.

Yes, this should be filed under "cleanup" for when those affected modules are 
updated.
