In Subversion 1.8, users may append CGI parameters to GET requests aimed at mod_dav_svn to ask Subversion to handle keyword expansion on their behalf.

Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de> provided the attached book patch via email:

{{{

Text lifted from these draft release notes as well.

• Keyword substitution / expansion in mod_dav_svn was documented in r5006 https://sourceforge.net/p/svnbook/source/5006/

• Updated the description of the feature with a paragraph taken from the patch attached to this ticket in r5023 https://sourceforge.net/p/svnbook/source/5023/

In the patch by Andreas, the feature is described in a dedicated "Keyword expansion" section, however I think that the feature should be described in "URL Syntax" section since IMHO it perfectly fits its scope. Therefore, I left the description in "URL Syntax" as it was in r5006.
