r4300 is the right number?

The only thing I can think of right now is that an error actually
occurred when updating the code and yet w3af could be restarted (after
displaying the user an error message). I've just checked the routine
that reads from the svn file the current revision [0] and it takes as
reference *only* the svn "entries" file in the project root. Also,
this is possible with SVN:

$:~/workspace/w3af$ svn info
[...]
Revision: 4331
[...]

$:~/workspace/w3af$ cd plugins
$:~/workspace/w3af/plugins$ svn info
[...]
Revision: 4347
[...]

Meaning that different directories in the project can be updated to
different revisions.

So it seems that the get-revision routine doesn't warranty that the
whole code is updated to the reported version.
