The problem I've described is that the value of $LastChangedRevision$
can be different for a same version of a file (it depends on the
operations that have been performed).

Yes, just before the commit.

This is currently not true (the bug, I assume). For instance:

ay:~/wd/www> svn -v list Makefile
P 20 lefevre 5122 Jun 19 01:39 Makefile
ay:~/wd/www> grep Id Makefile
# $Id: Makefile 71 2003-06-18 23:39:56Z lefevre $

because I checked out revision 71. But I suppose that one should have had:

# $Id: Makefile 20 2003-06-18 23:39:56Z lefevre $

Another example: I have another file I committed when the current
revision was 100 and the commit produced revision 102. The $Id$
keyword says rev. 100 and 'svn list -v' says rev. 102. Again, a
mismatch (I suppose that 102 is the correct value).

So, both commit and checkout give wrong values.

Yes, it is normal that it is no longer 17, but it isn't 59 either!
