But why do developers need or care about this information anyway? I
thought the issue was that you have a user-base that are pulling from your
repository or tarballs, and it is with those people that you need this
information? Developers could just use svnversion as part of a
build/tarball process.
If you are on Windows, there is also a nice program named SubWCRev.exe
available from the TortoiseSVN project. This is similar to svnversion,
except it will do keyword substitition in a file for you.
