Thank you. That was my try, too, before I turned to this mailing list
today. I didn't get it to work at first so I thought there could
possibly be an easier, more transparent way.

But it seems there is none and there is none desired by the SVN community.

So I headed back to my batch scripts, took out the magic spell book for
cmd.exe and a few UnxUtils tools and finally managed to create a
solution that runs as pre-build and post-build commands. The pre-build
script finds all required tools, the file itself, reads out the revision
number from a $Revision$ that I have inserted into a comment in
AssemblyInfo.cs, makes a backup of the file and patches the file to
replace the fourth version part for AssemblyVersion and
AssemblyFileVersion with the SVN revision. Then the build occurs. In the
post-build script, the backup file is restored so it won't show up as
changed in the project explorer and the developer is not bugged to
commit it every time.

It works now. It's a hack, but it seems to be stable enough.
