Yeah, that would surely be great. Do you know any method or whom to ask? I browsed the svn code and manuals but didn't find anything better than $Rev$.
Can't we do this with a commit hook that would update the version number (which is in 1 place only) automatically to the SVN revision number?
I was going to suggest that the buildscript pull the current revision # out of SVN, but the idea of a commit hook sounds like it could be cleaner. Would the hook apply whenever any file is committed to the repository, or just to files in the superiotool directory?
