subversion handles the revision number per project not per file as cvs used to
Revision numbers do not count how often a particular controlled artifact has been modified. Rather, they track a version of the entire set of artifacts. This way you can retrieve, say, version 96 and know based on that number that you have exactly the set of files that you need.
This is different from CVS or VSS where version numbers are tracked on a per-file basis and you need a different technique to get a consistent entire-project view. (E.g., "labels" in VSS)
As others have said, you can't do that in Subversion. And you don't need to. If you want to know how many revisions have been made to a particular file, use svn log
