I would like to know the last revision and date at which a particular file is updated just by opening the file in any editor and without having to do anything extra, for e.g., like installing a plugin for eclipse, opening a command prompt to issue an svn info command (note that the source I have need not always be from svn, it could be a source archive for a release downloaded separately), etc. I found this info very useful while investigating JIRAs.
