Quick question is why you'd need that. After all, if the file is in
Subversion, you already have the Subversion revision number.
You can set the svn:keywords property and use the $Revision$ or even
better the $Id$ keywords to give you the Subversion revision number.
Why is $Id$ better, because it also includes the file's path. If you
tag your releases, the file's path will automatically include the tag
too.
The standard way of doing this is to do this as part of the
build/release process. That is, when you do a build or release, you
create the release file there and then and not to version the release
file itself. Subversion has tags that can do this much better and
easier than a string in a single file. We do this when we do our build
which is triggered with every Subversion check-in..
