In Subversion, *every* change generates a new revision, and revisions are
identified with simple integers.

There are no version numbers in Subversion. Versions are referred to by a
revision in which the version exists.

Read the subversion book, especially chapter 4, section "Tags".

The book is at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/, but the server seems dead right
now.
I've put a temporary mirror at http://mob22.robinson.cam.ac.uk/
