I didn't see any issues pertaining to the single-revision-working-copy
revision keyword. I've seen this pop up on the list several times,
and personally am interested in this feature. Would it be reasonable to
file an "enhancement" issue for this?

The 'svnversion' workaround isn't as attractive when you can't embed its
output in a file as part of a build process (i.e. when there is no build
process, for non-compiled languages or other).
