I want to write a shell script in bash to deploy websites from an svn repository. When I deploy a website, I name the exported directory website_name-Rrevision_number. I’d like the bash script to automatically rename the exported directory, so it needs to learn the current revision number from the export directory. If I run 

$> svn info http://svn-repository/trunk

Path: trunk
URL: http://svn-repository/mystery/trunk
Repository Root: http://svn-repository/mystery
Repository UUID: b809e6ab-5153-0410-a985-ac99030dffe6
Revision: 624
Node Kind: directory
Last Changed Author: author
Last Changed Rev: 624
Last Changed Date: 2010-02-19 15:48:16 -0500 (Fri, 19 Feb 2010)

The number after the string Revision: is what I want. How do I get that into a bash variable? Do I do string parsing of the output from the svn info command?

    Use svnversion. This will output the revision number/range with minimal additional cruft
