As Johan has already noted, it's slightly more complicated. Let me add
the wrinkle that you also need to make sure LC_MESSAGES is set to a
known language, as "Revision:" is a localized string. (My scripts tend
to say things like:
LC_ALL=C svn info $URL | awk '/Revision:/{print $2}'
You're correct, of course, that a whole subcommand just to get
information that is already easily available, even if it does require
awk and an environment variable, seems a bit much.
