Anyone know how to get the svn revision number of a locally checked- out working copy via rscm? I’ve hacked about a bit in irb to see how things work (the docs are a little thin) but this one thing has eluded me. It can tell me if the WC is not the current version – but only the current version AFAIK which is different from (a) the actual checked-out revision and (b) is the current local revision up-to-date (which does not mean == to the HEAD revision) Am I just blind, or does rscm lack the ability to tell me what the revision number is a la `svn info`? (and yes, I can fall back to parsing the output of `svn info` – Craig B. AIM: kreiggers ---
