extracting project revision number

[Andre Charbonneau <an...@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>]

Hi,
I would like to extract the Subversion build number of my project and 
use this to name my release files (tar.gz).  What I thought of doing is 
to put a Subversion tag in my build.properties file.  Something like the 
following:

build.revision="$Rev: 24 $"

That way, the build number will be in synch with my Subversion 
repository.  But my question is:  How do I extract this build number to 
use it in my build.xml tasks? (without the leading '$Rev' and trailing 
'$' characters).

Thanks,
    Andre

I've written a task for ant that uses javasvn to examine the  
project's working copy and set some properties based on whether the  
WC is checked out from a tag, has uncommitted changes, etc.  I've not  
yet made this task available outside my organization, and it has some  
known flaws, but I find it works well for me.  If there's interest,  
I'll open it up.
