Nowadays, we would use 'svn info', but older clients might not have that.
And if you used a new client against your old WC, I'm not exactly sure what
would happen (I believe we're generally forward-compatible, but there have
been some "you must check out a new WC" points).

The secret mojo is to do:

$ cd working-copy-directory
$ fgrep revision= .svn/entries
   revision="3272"/>
$

That will tell you the revision of that directory, and usually, all of its
contents. Mixed revision working copies throws it all to hell, but I'm
guessing that you don't have that.
