"svn info ." displays the revision of "." (which is unrelated to any files or directories inside "."). You can either "svn up ." to update to the latest revision first, or use the "svnversion" program. People often use the latter when they need to compile a revision number their programs. There's even a FAQ with more info:

I think svnversion may not work on Windows, which you say you use. In that case, you may want to look into SubWCRev.exe.
