I have used the svn info for generation of those complex CMake (and bash 
scripts)

The XML option is fricken ingenious...  Thanks!!

I implemented several versions of putting SVN revision numbers into the 
application.

Option 1: use a rather complex shell/perl/python/whatever script to generate a 
header file. The script can become arbitrarily complex if you want reliable 
information.

Option 2: use the --xml option to SVN to generate files:
svn info --batch --xml >svn-info.xml
svn status --batch --xml >svn-status.xml then include those files in a QRC file 
and use the Qt-XML classes to parse them - you can get quite detailed 
information from them.


        Konrad
