Well, that's not entirely true. SVN for one doesn't change the keywords
on files that haven't changed. You can't have a keyword that expands to
the current head revision, for instance.
SVN's answer to the problem of how this works with merging is largely
arbitrary; if you are merging changes in, the $Id$ becomes expanded to
the merge that affected that path, not the change that introduced this
version of the file.
