using revision numbers in external system

Hi,
 
I would like to be able to rollback to a specific revision using an
external system. So my thinking is to store the revision number in a
table, and if I need to go back I can call "svn export -r
$rs['revisionNumber'] file:///myrepos/projectA"
 
However I can see that there are commands that cause renumbering of
revisions, however it would seem to me that as long as I don't delete
earlier revisions in the live repository, that they would not get
renumbered.
Is this the case? and to what degree can I rely on revision numbers on
external systems.
 
Thanks,
 
Tom H
