The revision value should always be there. The fact that it isn't (I was surprised that Ed's didn't have it) means there's a problem somewhere. The revision value comes from one of two places: 1) Running svnversion on the dabo directory. If that fails: 2) Querying the value from dabo.lib._daborevs #1 should work for subversion checkouts, and #2 should work for all other distributions, such as the download tarballs. However, I see a potential bug in looking at dabo.__version__.py, that would keep this from working for subversion checkouts where the shell has no access to the svnversion utility. I think I assumed that all subversion installs would also install the other svn tools.
