    As the comment below mentioned, this can be achieved by the following command in the newer SVN clients:

    svn info -rHEAD --show-item revision

    Original Answer

    Here is simple shell script thingy for you. Execute: svn info -rHEAD | grep Revision | cut -d' ' -f2

    See it in action:

    main$ svn info -rHEAD
Path: main
URL: svn://url/trunk/main
Repository Root: svn://url
Repository UUID: xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx
Revision: 17042
Node Kind: directory
Last Changed Author: Nishant
Last Changed Rev: 17040
Last Changed Date: 2012-08-09 11:29:05 +0530 (Thu, 09 Aug 2012)

main$ svn info -rHEAD | grep Revision | cut -d' ' -f2
17042

    Edit1: updated to fetch head rev.
