Is there a Subversion command to show the current revision number?
After svn checkout
I want to start a script and need the revision number in a variable. It would be great if there is a command like svn info get_revision_number
.

Newer versions of svn support the
--show-item
argument:For the revision number of your local working copy, use:
You can use
os.system()
to execute a command line like this:I do that in my nightly build scripts.
Also on some platforms there is a
svnversion
command, but I think I had a reason not to use it. Ahh, right. You can't get the revision number from a remote repository to compare it to the local one using svnversion.
