Why do you need the revision in the file commited? I guess you want to
display the version somewhere in the binary program?
We do this by creating a file version.h.template that contains the
$Revision keyword. In a pre-build step we copy the version.h.template to
version.h, then run subwcrev to replace $Revision with the svn-revision
value. Then we start the build-process that uses version.h.
version.h.template is added to svn (but it never changes) while
version.h is ignored in svn, so that we dont run into the same
chicken-egg-problem.
I dont know if this approach solves your task, just an idea.
