RE: [Subclipse-users] [svn-ant] Patch: Get latest revision number

From: Irving, Dave <dave.irving_at_logicacmg.com>

So, the info task didn't work too well, and In the end, I thought it
would be simpler to just have a simple ant task to obtain the latest
revision number of the repository.

This allows ant tasks to "do things" with the revision number they are
going to build from (e.g, provide the revision number to other remote
systems).

I've attached a patch with introduces a "latestRevision" command to
svnant.
It allows you to do this:

<svn>
  <latestRevision target="http://someRepo" propertyName="rev.latest"/>
</svn>
<echo message="Latest revision number is ${rev.latest}"/>

(property name is optional - defaults to svn.revison.latest

Please let me know what you think (I can create an issue to attach the
patch to if you like?)

Cheers,

Dave
