That sounds like an "annoyance" to a CVS user, but SVN users tend not to
pay too much attention to the revision number. If you want to know how
active a particular project has been, and you think commits are an
accurate measure of that, use svn log to see how many commits there have
been in the path(s) associated with that project, e.g.

svn log -q | grep ^r
