Try the small utility SVNWCRev.exe which TortoiseSVN uses to generate a
header file with those revision numbers in it. The tool can be found
here (under "Misc Tools"):
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/download.html
To see how this tool works, start it without any parameters. You can
also check out the template file TortoiseSVN uses here:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/tortoisesvn/trunk/src/version.in
