Hi Joerg!

IMHO there is no need to store this file in the repository.

If the servers you deploy the files to do not have their own SVN client,
I would make creation of the file part of the deployment process, i.e.
you do something like "svn export to/temporary/location && create_revsionInfo.sh && copy_to_all_servers.sh".

Do you have good reason to record more than (the trivially available)
* repository
* path inside the repository
* repo revision
* maybe export timestamp and exporting person
for the deployment in the revisionInfo.txt file?
Then a custom script that
walks the subversion file tree and collects all the information into your
version file should be easy with python, os.walk and some python svn binding
(or calling the command line tools).
