As you can see, this is done now. The value appears at the Python level only for tags, though, because it will be unreliable for the trunk and for branches.

Cool, thanks. I can chuck my local diffs now. :)

It would still be one level behind: patchlevel.h gets N, then 'svn cp' creates the tag, producing N+1. OTOH, for a tag, the revision number is nearly irrelevant.

Unless we tagged and then modified the file in that tag as the very last thing we do before we create the tarball. Or is that too evil?
