I don't understand.

You suggested a file with the revision number in it. This could be
created with the command `svnversion .` for the working copy.

As you should be aware by now, knowing the global revision number at the
time of a build does not have any meaning. The revision range (x:y) of
the file set that you compile is what is important to your program and
tracking down bugs. This is what `svnversion` gives you, the range of
revisions.

Here is a link to the FAQ for those who haven't read it yet.
