Hello,

I first wanted to loop through all the top-level folders and run svn
info on each one of them and then calculate the maximum revision.

I didn't take your idea literally (it can take a while for repository
with a long history, and it also takes some post-processing), but you
gave me the idea to construct the following one-liner:

version=`cd TRUNK && svn log -q -r HEAD:800 | grep theimportantuser |
head -n 1 | sed 's/^r\(\w*\).*/\1/' && cd .. `

Since there's a limited number of users commiting important changes
and a limited number of users commiting to folders I'm not interested
in, this happens to perfectly satisfy our needs.

Thanks again,
    Mojca
