Ok. I'll do what you say It will be like this:
  Version 0.34.0 (released 3 December 2003, from revision 7859)

And the upcoming 0.34.0 "svn --version" will ansver:
  svn, version 0.34.0 (r7859)

If someone wonders how, then they should sheck the changes in revision
7898 which have changed ./dist.sh to do this possible.

So, from now: -The executables revision number is the same as the
revision the release branch are created from.

Tobias: Thanks for all your feedback lately on this mailing list (to much
traffic). I'm sorry that I have'nt answered you on misc. postings but I
have listened. :-)

Thanks to everyone who have provided feedback here.

Jostein
