It wouldn't be used alone, of course.

I think the following is pretty clear.
        $WorkingRev: 2805 $
        $URL: http://svn.collab.net/branches/fs-convert-2092 $

That part of the issue is more related to giving branches meaningful names.
In this case fs-convert-2092 means something for those involved.

I'd like to have it, but there may be other useful variants. Dave Cridland
was on to something when he spoke about the containing directory's Last
Change Revision. Maybe this can be captured as a keyword?

        $ContainingDirectoryLastChangeRev: 2805 $
or rather
        $RelativePathLastChangeRev ../..: 2805 $
