You mean the maximum revision number supported by a Subversion  
repository? Googling "subversion maximum revision" I was easily able  
to find this previous mailing list message:

http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-03/0394.shtml

in which the maximum revision is stated to be 2147483647.

On a 32-bit machine, 2**31 - 1

That's enough to make one commit every minute, 24 hours a day, for over
4000 years.

Or, even if you were to somehow manage the ludicrous rate of 1 commit
every second, that still lasts just over 68 years :-)

Max.
