There are few changes in the top-level document. SVN replaces the $Revision$ during checkin only, when a file is modified. Since the top-level file is modified rarely, I see rarely updates on $Revision$. The svn manual clearly describes that svnversion should be used for this purpose http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html Is there a way to insert the output of an external command (svnversion) during compile time into a LyX document (it would not hurt to let also LyX display the result ;-) ?
