I would like to use svn export to export a bunch of files out of a Subversion repository. And I also wish to forgo keyword expansion on any of the keywords found in these files regardless of the svn:keywords property on this file. Is there a way to do this?
I'm doing this because I want to compare the files in the repository against a set of those same files that are not in the repository and have unexpanded keywords. A long long time ago I had a repository in CVS. A long time ago I did a flag day conversion to Subversion. Now I'm trying to convert the whole history to Mercurial and I want to identify exactly which version in Subversion corresponds most closely to the last version in CVS using diff without having to wade through expanded keyword differences.
