What about using a build step?

I have a build step at a point after the SVN update occurs, and before the
build actually begins, that extracts the revision from the root of the working
copy (using 'svn info') and then substitutes it into the build in strategic
locations.  After the build is complete, I have a step that recursively
reverts all local modifications.  So, my builds are self-configuring and
self-cleaning.

Just a thought.

 We can't all be architects. Some of us excel at building from the blueprints.
