Depends on what "manually maintained" means.
The system that seems sensible to me is to compute the version info
(i.e., run svnversion) at the time you build the system (or otherwise
decide it's final, whatever that means if it's a directory tree that
doesn't get "built"). So, if there's a makefile, you might use
"REV=`svnversion`", and possibly a forcing production to ensure that
one file is rebuilt whenever you build anything. Or, if it's a web
tree, then the script you use to export it to the htdocs directory
would also run "svnversion > VERSION.TXT".
