Please don't confuse client-side hooks with the "global revision number" question. I was suggesting to run svnversion from such a hook which answers quite a different question. Client-side hooks can do very interesting things. I've seen people pick TortoiseSVN as their only client because it has this feature. Just like server-side hooks, it allows for a higher degree of automation and can reduce the error rate of the software development process if used right. It would be a useful feature for the CLI client. Stefan
