Is Keyword ($Revision$)substitution possible in SVN?

[Sachin Patil <sa...@fastvdo.com>]

Hi,
  I use SVN for managing a C++ project.
Is there some way to find the current revision number automatically from 
within a version controlled file so that when I build an executable, I 
should be able to display the version number for that executable.
This is somewhat similar to the keyword substitution |for $Revision$ in CVS.

I have read the bean-book and did not find any information regarding 
this. Did I miss something?

Any suggestions/information is appreciated.

warm regards,

You can do keyword substitution using subversion including $Revision$ 
see 
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.html#svn.advanced.props.special.keywords> 
but the $Revision$ keyword in subversion expands to be the last revision 
in which that particular file changed, which may or may not be what you 
want see <http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#version-value-in-source>
