Tag, branch and revision number

Hi,

I come from CVS background, I used to use CVS to make tags, to create
a branch and to use $Revision:$ to get each source file revision
number. Is it the same rules apply to svn?

Thank you.

Jim

No. In Subversion, the whole repository has a revision number
(basically, a timestamp). Every commit increments the global revision
number. Individual files do not get their own version numbers.

The SVN manual has a section just for CVS converts.
