As a new user to Stack Overflow, I can't comment on Quinn's post, but I have a small change to make his solution a bit more accurate if you're using a SVN repository that has multiple projects going on at once.

Using his approach, the svnversion number that is returned is the last check-in for the entire repository, not necessarily your code base. This tweak allows for the update to be specific to your code base.

REV=`svnversion -nc | /usr/bin/sed -e 's/^[^:]*://;s/[A-Za-z]//'`
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleVersion $REV" "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}"/${INFOPLIST_PATH}

Using the -c flag will gather the last commit done in the active branch/tag/trunk for your codebase in the form of :, then chop off the bits you don't want to store as the Revision number.

Also, notice the double quotes around the ${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}. Those are needed for users that decide to place their project in a directory structure with spaces in the name.

Hope this helps others!
