Jacques,
Say you are compiling and running an OFBiz instance that is also an SVN
workspace.
You do your `ant build' and/or your `ant run-install'.
You then run the SubWCRev program (SVN util program) that writes the precise "working copy highest
commit revision" into a footer .ftl file.
You start your compiled and data-seeded OFBiz.
And voila. You see the revision number in the footer of every page.
But when committing changes, remember to revert the changes to footer first.
That "working copy highest commit revision" number has no business residing in SVN. It should be
part of your build process instead. But if you really want it committed into SVN, my suggested
solution was given in a prior post.
If you're talking about the "release branch name" (eg 4.0 or 5.0), then I suppose it's alright to
just commit that number into the branch.

Jacopo, Adam and Jonathon,
I'm not sure you got my idea. It was really a simple one : to put the release
version number into respective footer.ftl files ... We
may also indicate when it's trunk and then maybe revision number would be
helpful. Maybe this is only interesting for programmers
and perhaps even more for commiters. But even in that case I still find it
helpful (when testing for instance). OK, I'm a commiter
and this will ease my life ;o)

Well, ok, if you really want to do this in SVN, you can.
But every commit must be preceded by writing that revision number into a "revision
info file". And
that file must be checked in together with the other changes, part of the same
change set.
Hmm. Wait. You also have to "add 1" to the revision number in that file.
Otherwise, you'll always
be 1 behind.
Use a post-commit hook, or you'll get very wrong results when many committers
commit at the same time.

See

.
By the way, I don't think it's a good idea to put that revision number
into SVN. For those users checking out from SVN, let them manually
insert that revision number themselves in their build processes.
That revision number should go into a build, not into SVN.

Keyword substitution in SVN. Same as in CVS.
Nope. That will only show the latest version of *one* particular file.
What we want is the latest version of *any* file in the checkout.
