How about inverting that? Make SVN-REVISION available for checkouts and
suchlike, where knowing which revision a user has checked out might come
in handy in a few different scenarios - tech support, auditing, etc.

I don't care much about SVN-REVISION for commits (I would follow your
line of thinking), but I think it would be very handy for checkouts and
suchlike.
