The exact subversion error is printed on stdout.

But you call SubWCRev with '.' as the first argument. My guess would be
that the current directory is not really defined in a VS build event.
Use e.g. $(SolutionDir) instead.

And make sure that paths which have spaces in them are placed between
quotes!
