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

Otherwise for old version, if '--show-item' is not recognize, you can use the following command :

svn log -r HEAD | grep -o -E "^r[0-9]{1,}" | sed 's/r//g'

Hope it helps.
