keyword extension - keyword expansion in local repositories

This extension expands RCS/CVS-like or self-customized keywords in

the text files selected by your configuration.

Keywords are only expanded in local repositories and not logged by

Mercurial internally. The mechanism can be regarded as a convenience

for the current user and may be turned off anytime.

Substitution takes place on every commit and update of the working

repository.

Configuration is done in the [keyword] and [keywordmaps] sections of

hgrc files.
