Shouldn't the command 'svnversion' be used instead? -

It's true that the output of this command does change with 'svn up', even
if the update makes no changes to files under version control in your
working copy. It *seems* to be sane & reproducible once you've done a
single svn up, though (and if there are no locally modified files, mixed
checkouts etc., the version it reports will be a single revision number
with no non-numeric characters).
