You're caught between being a true user (just have to know the fixed
release number) and a
developer, who needs to know the file revision.  Once HiveMind settles
down into fixed releases, it
is possible to go from the release number (i.e., 1.0-beta-1) to a file
revisions (i.e., 1.37) even
using the CVS Web access.

However, for someone who'se taken to the bleeding edge, you might just
need to take one small extra
step and start pulling the code down via anonymous CVS. It's really no
different than getting the
source drop.
