Right you are, thanks for questioning that. Problem was an error in the wc
path I passed; it wasn't the root of the wc.
While I'm asking silly questions in this area, maybe someone can straighten
out a related workflow, or maybe repository setup, confusion I'm having.
My wc has src and dist dirs, standard I think. When I have some degree of
"release" ready in src, I run an ant script that, among other things, copies
the head revision into a temp dir outside the wc, uses SubWCRev.exe to
insert revision info into one of the files in temp, then zips everything in
temp up into a file in dist. All that remains is to commit the newly created
zip file in dist, then create a copy of that dist/release state in tags.
Weird part is that the revision with the updated zip that gets tagged isn't
actually the one matching the revision number in the file in the zip. It has
to be that way, because the dist commit is (at least) one after the commit
it was created from.
Is there any way around this? I know I want a tag of the actual distro, as
well as the ability to create it again from sources, which seems inherently
to lead to this situation. Is this process basically what others do?

Nope; looking around on the net I see lots of java classes w that name, but
didn't find a cmd line tool. May not need it.
Thanks again, as always,
