I'm looking for a way to update a file (let's say lastbuild.txt) with the last SVN revision number when I commit. How can I do that ?

thank you :)

Answer 1

SVN supports hooks - scripts or programs that get called on certain actions. You may set a post-commit hook that will update file for you.

Read more on hooks here.

Answer 2

Check out the following documentation:

Answer 3

If the file is under versioning you can use svn:keywords it's way easier than hooks.
