SVN_REV=`egrep 'ver.*mythtv' .svn/dir-wcprops | sed 's/^.*ver\///' |
sed 's/\/.*//'`

Why's grepping better than svn info / svnversion?

        Only because it is faster than something that
checks each and every file across the network,
and allows builds when un-networked
(like when commuting with my laptop)


        I wasn't actually aware of svnversion. Very nice.
The conciseness of the value set by:

SVN_REV=`svnversion .`

probably outweigh the networking issues.
