Adding svn rev number to solution

[jdbruijn]

Does anyone know how I can add the current rev number of SVN to my solution?

I've got a global var my_version that I modify manually, just before I commit to the next rev number. But this is prone to give me headaches when I forget to do this, so I would like to do this automatically when I synchronize my solution to update that global var (or some other location).

SVN seems to have an option to add svn:properties to show this kind of information, but if I read the documentation right it can only give the rev number of the current file, not the global rev number of my entire solution.

I put in a feature request to include a build number property to a solution that could be automatically incremented upon exporting the solution last January. Linking it to SVN would work as well. I've been doing it manually and is a pain.

There is no automated way to do this.

Subversion have a feature to update a certain tag in a file with the revision number when the file gets altered, but that is on file level, not project level.
