Description

The documentation states that $Date$ gets expanded to something like this:

"Date

    This keyword describes the last time the file was known to have been changed
in the repository, and looks something like $Date: 2002-07-22 21:42:37 -0700
(Mon, 22 Jul 2002) $. It may also be specified as LastChangedDate."


In reality (checking out a project using Eclipse JavaSVN), the generated string
looks like this:

$Date: 2006-05-04 20:58:25Z $

Also, what does the 'Z' mean?

As a side note, it would be great if one could format the output of the Date. 

thanks,
