Actually, the issue I was concerned about was that when you make a change
to some file and commit it, the build number won't change unless you also
svn up, and maybe not even then. I never figured out how to get a good
answer without reading the full "svn info -R" or the .svn/entries files.
Note that you can just use:
svn info -R|grep '^Last Changed Rev'|sort -nr|head -1|cut -f 4 -d" "
To get the highest-numbered revision. However, both this approach and
yours will not deal with Subversion messages in non-English locales. I
discovered this with setuptools when I was using "svn info" when somebody
reported that the text before the numbers is different in non-English locales.
After a bit of experimentation, here's a pipeline that gets the info
directly from the entries files, without reliance on the language of svn
info's output:
find . -name entries | grep '\.svn/entries$' | xargs grep -h
committed-rev \
| cut -f2 -d'"' | sort -nr |head -1
