Zope Subversion Repository

Zope: Zope3/trunk/src/zope/security/interfaces.py

Tell subversion to expand the Id keyword:
  - replaced old CVS expansion with a clean $Id$
  - set the svn:keywords property to "Id"

When you check-in files in the future and want $Id$ to be expanded,
make sure it reads "$Id$" in that file; then set svn:keywords to "Id".
