This appears to be a "feature" of SVN in that the revision number 
embedded in the file is the last revision that altered that particular 
file, and not the latest revision of the whole repository. Since we 
store the revision information in a separate file (because it is re-used 
in more than one place) then you don't see the "true" repository revision.

Perhaps we could "touch" the pgsql2shp-core.h file but that just seems 
messy :(


ATB,

Mark.
