if you run 'svn info', you can get something like this: Path: . Working Copy Root Path: /home/gregp/development/scribus140 URL: svn://scribus.net/branches/Version14x/Scribus Repository Root: svn://scribus.net Repository UUID: 11d20701-8431-0410-a711-e3c959e3b870 Revision: 17869 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: jghali Last Changed Rev: 17867 Last Changed Date: 2012-11-10 09:50:34 -0500 (Sat, 10 Nov 2012) so if someone is using svn, this might be the quickest way.
