Comment (by hamish):

 thanks for mentioning `svn info`, I hadn't seen that.

 However, AFAICT "`svn info`" and "`svnversion`" both give the rev number
 of the entire repo, not the latest change to that branch.

 using the "`svn log`" method would keep the version unchanged for e.g.
 GRASS 5.4.2 since the last time that branch was actually modified.
 otherwise all branches+trunk versions change each time any modification is
 made globally (e.g. to grass-web or trunk), when in fact they haven't
 changed at all.

 the downside of `svn log` is that it is rather slow and requires internet
 access.
