Current Subversion revision command

Question

Is there a Subversion command to show the current revision number?

After svn checkout I want to start a script and need the revision number in a variable.

Answer 1

Just used @badcat's answer in a modified version, using subprocess.check_output():

import subprocess
revision = subprocess.check_output("svn info | awk '/^Revision:/ {print $2}'", shell=True).strip()

I believe you can also, install and use pysvn if you want to use python to interface with svn.
