I agree that we should do a one-time sweep to set svn:keywords on all  
portfiles. Not sure if all those keywords are necessary... Whatever  
list of keywords we decide on, we should also install a pre-commit  
hook that rejects the commit of any portfile that does not contain  
these keywords. This came up before:

Charlie and Kevin: has any progress been made on the Python script?  
If not, I'd be happy to code up something simple that should do the  
trick, but it wouldn't be in Python. My preferred language is PHP,  
but if that's not acceptable I could try to do it in Bash or Perl.
