I've done this now. Not by option though, but via config:

[keyword]
** = archive
**.txt

expands keywords in every non-binary file when archiving but only
in **.txt files in the working directory.

<http://www.blacktrash.org/cgi-bin/mercurial/hgkeyword/>
(standalone)

<http://www.blacktrash.org/cgi-bin/mercurial/hg-crew-keyword/>
(crew + keyword)

I was too optimistic in my other post about that. Perhaps I'll
find a way.

Should I send another patch against crew?
