Description

"svn switch" can change the proper value of the $URL$ keyword in files.  But if
the switched-to directory does not contain edits to those files, they will not
be re-substituted currently.

The solution to this problem is most likely a pass over the entries files of the
working copy at the end of a switch, re-substituting those files with "URL" in
their svn:keywords properties.  Note that a very similar process would allow us
to re-substitute $GlobalRev$ (or whatever) after an update.
