Thanks Ryan. Parsing the output really isn't a big deal. I guess I was hoping for a more eloquent solution.
Any suggested reading for SVN? Specifically, we're looking at establishing baselines for our systems using SVN. Can this be done using this tool?

We want to enhance our process to ensure we, at a minimal, export an existing version of a file. Can anyone suggest a command that will check the file version (without parsing the output of the list command; I'd rather check the execution of the command with "echo $?" or something to that effect)? See examples below for further details. To correct the terminology, you're trying to verify the "last changed revision" of the file. And I don't think you're going to find a solution that doesn't involve parsing the output of some svn command.
