I see. I suspect we need some regression tests in this area :)

I don't think it is HEAD that is wanted. I think this is a request
for a $Current$ keyword, that expands to svn_wc_entry_t.revision, as a
way to get an "svnversion-like" version number without running
svnversion. It would work reasonably well for those who deal with
single revision working copies.
