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.
