There is an utility that comes with command line Subversion clients which is
called "svnversion".

If you run it as a command line utility, it outputs a string on its standard
output that includes the last SVN revision number.

If you run it outside a working copy, it only outputs the string "exported",
without producing any error.

I use that in another project, but as "svnversion" doesn't process
templates, it needs a lot of intermediary processing before achieving the
desired result (and also, it makes Subversion being an additional
prerequesite for building the project).

I expected using SubWCRev in order to configure something largely simpler.

Unfortunately, this lack of the "not working copy" default behaviour that
exists in "svnversion" will not make things as simple as I was expecting.
