The revision number is global, as you point out, & we only compile
based on a working copy that is in an updated state, thus all the
files that the final .exe/whatever depends on have been committed
prior to the most recent commit of the $Rev$'ed file, thus a checkout
of the last commit rev will give the correct depended files.

No wait.

What if there's only changes in depended files, not in the main file
containing the $Rev.

Hm, I think I see where you're going.

With most of our projects, this would be a corner case.

Hm.

Thank you very much for the pointer, I'll bring it up at the next meeting.

*Sighs a bit*.
Not sure why this has to be done with a external tool.
I take it that there's a mighty good reason why there isn't a
Subversion $$ keyword that expands to the current repository revision
when an update is performed?
