Mm.... no, that's not what he's asking. He's himself developing a web
site, and wants the HEAD revision number displayed for his users to see.
Frank, there are no client-side hooks. What you would do is have a
script that you use to deploy a new version of the site. The script
might "svn up" a working copy, then use "svnversion" (or "svn info"
some parsing) to get the revision number, then write this into a file
in the working copy. (The working copy has been set up to ignore the
presence of that file with svn:ignore.) The homepage of your web app
then merely reads in the contents of that text file and displays it.
Here's another take on this, written more for programmers of compiled
languages but maybe still useful:
