Summary description: v1.3 update of package
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
Main update: Verbatim processing of keywords ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Keywords are now read verbatim, i.e. \ $ % & # _ ^ are now supported inside the keyword and do not create problems. Please note that the needed catcode changes alter the way (La)TeX is processing the macros (not only the content). Create care was taken to support most use cases (like putting comments between the multiline arguments of \svnidlong) in order to not break any existing documents. Other changes: Package now obeys standard \nofiles switch which suppresses the generation of the .svn file.

svn-multi – Subversion keywords in multi-file LaTeX documents
This package lets you typeset keywords of the version control system Subversion inside your LaTeX files anywhere you like. Unlike the otherwise similar package svn the use of multiple files for one LaTeX document is well supported.
The package uses the author’s filehook and currfile packages.
The package interacts with an external Perl script, to retrieve information necessary for the required output.
