Could you specify your actions and commands and what's wrong does SVN
give?

This is as good a place as any to decry the fact that svn ls is
unreliable. In the case of files added and removed, at least, "svn ls"
gives the wrong answer. I have been unsuccessful in forcing a "sync" so
that I can immediately process managed files. This is one vital reason
for knowing the format of the entries file.
And one vital reason for needing a reliable "svn ls" command is because
svn tags are unreliable. So, I use find(1) to create my own tag files.
Or perhaps I don't understand the much acclaimed "single revision
number" concept of SVN. How do I capture the state of a directory
that's possibly had arbitrary single-file updates and commits in it?

Aren't there APIs to be used for such things, so that everything is
handled properly?

And it's absolutely impossible to compile a client yourself on that
platform? I have heard of more exotic platforms on which it compiled
nicely. If you need help compiling a client, I'll be glad to help.

We need to know the format because we need to get the revision number
in an operating system where there is not svn clien (sco unix).
So any help will be appreciate,
Sotiris

There's 'svn info <path>' for that, or if you want machine-parseable:
'svn info --xml <path>'.

I understand and agree that "for regular users" such information may
be irrelevant, it also makes sense to hide / protect the details so
that it does not fall into unsafe hands.
But, consider this scenario : there maybe people out there with
genuine interest to know what makes of entries in .svn ?
Is it sensible to "share insensitive info" on .svn to the external world ?

It is and will stay unspecified for your own protection: you're not to
meddle with the contents of the .svn area! It may damage your data!
