Adding Revision Number to Changes file comment

When I make a change to some code I also make a note in the Changes
file.  I'd like to included with this note the revision number.  Of
course, I don't know the number yet because the change hasn't been
checked in yet.

That is, I'd like to be able to type:

    Wed Feb  7 17:50:46 UTC 2007
    Patch provided by foo to fix nasty bug.  Fixed in rev $Rev.

and then at checkin have $Rev set to the revision number so after that
point the revision number is plain text and no longer a variable.

What prevents you from simply entering this information in the commit
log, and then generating your Changes file for release from the
Subversion log? You'll get the date, time & revision number
automatically.

Assuming, you have one SINGLE change file, here is my suggestion, to
script this:

<script> /path/to/changefile /path/to/changedfile

Within your script, you can code SVN commands to extract the $Rev
number of changed file.
