Best practice for getting most recent revision number?

[Kylo Ginsberg <ky...@gmail.com>]

Right now I do this in a script like so:
rev=`svn log $SVNROOT -q -r HEAD | grep "^r" | cut -f 1 -d" " | cut -c2-`

Works fine, but a little clunky, not to mention dependent on the format of
log output.  Is there a better way?

Thanks
Kylo

I use svn info

svn info $SVNROOT | awk '$1 == "Revision:" {print $2}'

'Better' is in the eye of the beholder. Here's how I do it:

svn info | grep 'Revision:' | sed 's/.*: //g'

Good point.  I was asking client-side, where there's no equivalent AFAIK.
