Comment(by realityexists):

 I think to actually get the SVN revision in a build script and put it into
 an environment variable or a file is quite easy: just run `svnversion`
 inside the working copy, ignoring any errors (in case it's not a working
 copy or SVN is not even installed). That returns the revision of the
 entire working copy (which might be mixed, but hopefully won't be in an
 official build) But this ticket is really about being able to retrieve it
 from an SQL client, so it would need to somehow get from the variable/file
 into the output of PostGIS_Full_Version (or some other SQL function).
