If you want to store a file in the repository which contains the
current revision, and you want the server to do so, then you're going
to be writing a post-commit script on the server which itself does
another commit, which will increase the repository revision. That's
all there is to it. This is not ideal, and it's not a good idea in
the first place, but if you insist on it, then that's how it is.

The solution is to use svnversion (or perhaps SubWCRev; I'm not
familiar with it) on the working copy on the client, at the time when
you need to know the working copy's revision number(s). Surely you
already have a build script on each type of client that you support.
You should be able to integrate calling svnversion / SubWCRev into
that build script where necessary.
