I don't believe there is. That difficulty is mentioned on the subversion
FAQ (http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#version-value-in-source) and
it's solution is to integrate the "svnversion" command where available
into the build process for the program, and to me that seems a more
reasonable method than using $Id$ strings, given this issue of only
certain files getting $Id$ or $Revision$ keywords replaced when updating
the checkout
