Feature Req: Option to show rev number in hex

We would like and option to have TSVN show revision numbers in hexadecimal.

This request comes from our management and our "systems engineers".

Here's why: We are using the SVN revision number as the minor part of
the software version - a common practice. Our customers
(manufacturers) have tools and equipment that query electronic
components directly and expect, among other things, the software
version, reported as 3 unsigned integers in the range 0 to 0xFFFF.

Up until now, the special tools, supplied by our major customers, had
an option to display numbers in decimal. With the new common platform
for manufacturing our major customers use, numbers are only displayed
in hexadecimal.

Unlike the software group, the others in our organization (who insist
on being able to view our SVN logs with TSVN) find it very
inconvenient to have to convert the revision numbers between decimal
and hexadecimal. (For formal documents, we can, and do, convert to hex
for their convenience, but they want to use TSVN themselves - or force
us to switch to another VCS they feel will be more friendly to them.)

Thanks.
