Description
Hello, I have written a patch for getting the svn revision number. This way is quicker and safer. Quicker because it extracts the revision number directly from the .svn/entries file without checking every file and safer because it does not miss any revision. For example revision 968 was missed because only help files were committed. The extraction is compatible with both old (pre 1.4) version of subversion that uses xml for the entries file and version 1.4+ which does not use xml.

You could also just use `svnversion' - the problem with that is that it relies on the .svn files. The current method was chosen because it also has to work with source tarballs. It's not perfect because you can miss a revision from time to time, but that's not a big price to pay IMO.
