[PATCH 2/4] convert: Keep foreign $Id$ on checkout.

From

<cff48594f97960444a3cd642dafd7fd4905e6891.1268664693.git.grubba@grubba.org>

If there are foreign $Id$ keywords in the repository, they are most likely there for a reason. Let's keep them on checkout (which is also what the documentation indicates). Foreign $Id$ keywords are now recognized by there being multiple space separated fields in $Id:xxxxx$.

The typical use case is for repositories that have been converted
from some other VCS, where it is desirable to keep the old identifiers
around until there's some other reason to alter the file.
