Shouldn't the command 'svnversion' be used instead? - http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/re57.html It's true that the output of this command does change with 'svn up', even if the update makes no changes to files under version control in your working copy. It *seems* to be sane & reproducible once you've done a single svn up, though (and if there are no locally modified files, mixed checkouts etc., the version it reports will be a single revision number with no non-numeric characters).
