NAME
       svnversion - Produce a compact version number for a working copy.

SYNOPSIS
       svnversion [wc_path [trail_url]]

OVERVIEW
       Subversion  is  a  version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files and directories (usually source
       code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS.  Subversion keeps a single copy of
       the  master sources.  This copy is called the source ``repository''; it contains all the information to permit extracting
       previous versions of those files at any time.

       For more information about the Subversion project, visit http://subversion.tigris.org.
