So if unsuspecting people are hit by the fs schema change, just point
them to this one document. You can give them a URL to it, right in
the HEAD of trunk:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/repos_upgrade_HOWTO
I guess the svn 0.28 release announcement should also reference this URL.

I see, thanks for clarification.

Yes, you're missing something. There are only two ways to get what
you want, and they both result in Bad Things:
1. Store the expanded keyword in the repository. But now you get
"false diffs" whenever you compare two versions of the same
file. It *always* looks like the keyword line changes, even
when humans don't change it.
- or -
2. Store the contracted keyword in the repository, and make the
repository translate the entire file (expand keywords) whenever
it responds to an http GET request. But now you've just made
the server do a whole lot more work, slowed it down, etc. It's
not just reading database information anymore. One of our main
design principles is to *distribute* work to clients whenever
possible.

Ah, but I would argue that web-client is a svn-client, if we are showing
something with it. I expect that what I see with web-client is exactly
what is in my working copy after checkout.
If I am missing something, just slam me with ViewCVS thread.

Of course. This isn't a new file; the svn:keyword property has been
set on this file for nearly a year.
Remember that the repository stores keywords *contracted*. Only an
svn client understands how to expand a keyword.

A wild guess:
Do you like set svn:keyword on for this?
