Let's back up a step. I don't understand why $LastChangedRevision$ is
insufficient for solving your problem.

I mean, if one generated file claims to have been produced by "working
revision 170", and another one by "working revision 171", does that
*mean* anything? Most likely, revs 170 and 171 of the m-file are
completely identical.

$LastChangedRevision$ is the true "version" of the file. Isn't that
what you care about?
