Here is the make log and a patch to ignore looking for subversion keyword and assume some defaults (same is done in 2.6 + higher).

Yes, that is relevant and applies probably to code in default and
other branches.
Just in case, this corner case in 2.5 does not overlooked (because it
does not happen in other branches), I think it is a good idea to keep
this open and fix it with the patch attached in this issue.

I talked to Martin about this at the sprints. He wants the set of patches in the 2.5 hg repo to be exactly those that he should apply to svn to build the next release, no more no less. If someone wants to propose a patch that fixes the hg compile but does not break the svn compile, he would find that acceptable. Alternatively the hg repo could be fixed, for our convenience, after 2.5 goes out of maintenance in November.
