We just don't use them because it's simple to find out the version of
an item in your working copy by using Subversion (see below).

Ah. No kicking necessary. You want to use 'svn status' with the -v option:
pantheon: /home/fitz/svn-work/subversion/tools$ svn status -v

This is the 'long form' output of svn status. The first column of
numbers shows the working-revision of the item. The third and fourth
columns show the revision in which the item last changed, and who
changed it.
I would suggest reading chapter 3 of the book:
