The following FAQ talks about CVS Keywords
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/faq.html#CVS_revison_tags

However, i think that this will also work with Subversion
as long as you have set the relevant svn property for the
source file.

Please tell us how you go. If you can manage it please contribute
a patch for the FAQ.
