Switch expansion off. I have never found this to be of much use.

Subject: Re: [OFBiz] Dev - SVN keywords
Hi,
some time ago I've asked in this thread the developers' opinion about
the opportunity to keep svn keywords expansion switched on.
I'd like to remove keywords from source files to avoid merging/import
problems, but also because this kind of meta information is better
managed in svn logs.
David, Andy, Jacques had already post some interesting comments... any
other opinion? Should we start a vote?
I think that, now that we are slowly migrating to the new ASL2.0
license, it is a good opportunity to take a decision on this too.
