Mmmh... not sure it deserves going there considering how quick-hacked it 
is :

---------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

# Unexpands all "$Id ....$" keywords from files having a certain prefix 
(i.e. replaces them by $Id$)
# The good thing with Subversion is that it doesn't consider as being 
modified a file where the
# keyword has changed

find . \( -name '*.java' -or -name '*.xml' -or -name '*.xmap' -or -name 
'*.js' -or -name '*.xsl' \) -print | while read file
do
  echo $file
  /usr/bin/sed -e 's/\$Id:.*\$/$Id$/' $file > ${file}.rmkw-tmp
  mv ${file}.rmkw-tmp $file
done
---------------------------------------------------
