You could do this by writing it into your Makefile, but there's no other existing support for it. I'd recommend combining the URL reported by "svn info" with the result of svnversion to get the most informative version. Watch out for cases of people who are trying to make your package from a tarfile, rather than an svn checkout. We have ended up with some fairly tricky Makefile programming to get what we want into the R banner.
