RE: Receive only the revision number

On Windows, using Cygwin, but probably fine on most Unix-like systems:

svn log --limit 1 . | head -2 | tail -1 | cut -d"|" -f 1 | cut -b2-

The use of double-quotes on the first "cut" is probably a cmd.exe oddity. Adjust for your shell.

For the working copy, you might be better off using svnversion.

Oh, and the bit you're missing: The working copy revision is only really brought up-to-date after an "svn update". That is: if you've never done an svn update on a working copy, it'll probably always return 1 as the revision number.

Cheers,
Roger.

Subject: Re: Receive only the revision number

Ok, it works fine, but now I have a problem:
When I commit, svn gives the rivision number.. f.i. 245

But when I do info in my local copy, or use to the repository url.. The
result is: revision number=1

How is it possible, that this revision number on the repository and on the
local copy is 1?

Can someone help me? Thanks..
