SVN provides the possibility to get the revision number of a single file with the property $Revision$. This is fine for a single file. I'm using it in a C++ project that consists of several files in a single folder. Is there a similar way to get one single revision number of the complete project ? In my understanding this should be the highest version number of all the files in the project folder.

I already know that it is possible to get the latest revision number using a bash script but I'd like to avoid this.

  • not sure what you are looking for .... you want the version number of the folder, or all the versions for all the files in the folder ? Commented Jun 24, 2014 at 7:29

If you want to have Global Revision Number per repository, you can use different methods

  • Instead of bash-script just run svnversion (program is part of SVN on any platform) inside working Copy and intercept output
  • For more complex requests you can use subwcrev (part of TortoiseSVN on Windows) or it's Linux brother svnrev (slightly outdated, noreleases from 27 February 2012, may not work with SVN 1.8 Working Copies) at build-stage - store and version "template-file", generate and use "real-file" on demand

I wanted to avoid platform dependent scripting because we are developing software for QNX under Linux and Windows machines. But I already suspected that there is no simple "magic" solution...
