Check youngest revision of tree
Does anyone know how I can get the latest revision number of a
particular folder WITHOUT checking it out? I looked at SVNLook, but it
only works on the root. I also looked at SVN Info and SVN status, and
you need a working copy for them.
I'm trying to set up a daily build, and I don't want to rebuild unless
files have changed in a certain tree. I don't want to get all of the
files each time just to check. It would be nice if it was a quick
operation so that I could choose to poll more often without penalty if I
decide to do that.
Thanks,
Jason

First, doing an update is very cheap if nothing has changed, so I
wouldn't worry about it. Make a working copy that's just the tree you
want, and then run update.
If you want to get the number:
svn info . | awk '$1 == "Revision:" {print $2}'
