RTFM!

It seems that you don't understand the concept of a global revision
number. Nobody says that there has to be changed anything between
R131 and R146.

Why don't you just look at the "Last Changed Rev:" field of "svn info"?
Here is a real-life example from one of my projects which shows the
difference:

$ svn info .
Path: .
URL: svn://simpson/xxxxx/yyyy
Repository Root: svn://simpson/yyyy
Repository UUID: d467969e-7bf4-0310-9604-f1a2207742dd
Revision: 1457
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: aschweig
Last Changed Rev: 301
Last Changed Date: 2005-12-05 17:02:02 +0100 (Mon, 05 Dec 2005)

The information from "svn info" will only be accurate if the working
copy contains a pure single revision. This can be checked with the
"svnversion" command.
