I tried this, but you're always one behind and/or you get in an
infinite loop:

1 - modify the file with the current version
2 - commit, which bumps the version
3 - since the version changed, go back to (1)

(Plus, cron isn't portable, nor is svnversion, and it feels like
a hack for something that would be better integrated into svn
just as $Id$ is.)
