Dear Monks,

recently I've started using version control, using Subversion in Win32 (the TortoiseSVN client and the svnserve server). I am very pleased with it and I can't recommend it enough to anyone not using version control. However, I have one question: I've read somewhere, or seen an example, of people using their CVS revision numbers as the last part of their module $VERSION numbers, so that you might have something like 1.02_13 where the _13 is the CVS revision number, which is automatically inserted when making a commit (I think). How might I go about setting that up on Subversion for my code? I supersearched but didn't find what I was looking for, and neither did the svnserve documentation. Do I need the perl bindings for SVN? What do I do?

Thank you very much for any and all replies.
