I Googled for tagging for svn and got the branch/copy solution. Not needed in my case.
This is my simple solution for projects and what revision is tagged to a version number. If you like it, then post it. In ~/.aliases file set dollar='$' set sed_1='\1' alias svn_tag "svn update;svn log -l 1 | egrep 'r[0-9]+' | sed -r 's/(.*)$dollar/$sed_1 VERSION \!:*/g' | tee -a VERSION.txt;svn commit -m 'version \!:*' VERSION.txt" Usage $ svn_tag 1.0.1 Updating '.': At revision 431. r430 | ftrujillo | 2013-08-21 11:40:38 -0600 (Wed, 21 Aug 2013) | 1 line VERSION 1.0.1 Sending VERSION.txt Transmitting file data .
