Subversion version

Hi All,

I've noticed that neither the svn client nor the svn admin command line utilities ("svn" 
and "svnadmin") seem to have any way of returning the version being run.  It would 
be nice to have a command in the svn client that could return the version of the client 
and also the version of the server serving a particular repository.

Cheers,

This is http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1959

Patches welcome :-).  (Note that the patch in the issue is spurious,
see the last comment there.)

Perforce has "p4 info" which tests your connection to the server and 
then prints version and path information about both the client and the 
server. I guess this would work for Subversion if you ran it in a 
working copy.

Cheers,
Mike.

Thanks for that info - going back to the manual, I see that I should have read it :-(  I 
assumed that, because there was no reference to this switch in the svn help 
command, there was no such switch.  FWIW, I think this switch should be 
documented in the "help" command - many other programs I use do this.

I also think it would be useful to have a "--server-version" switch or similar to return 
the server for a specified URL.  Not a high priority I guess, but useful nonetheless.
