That was my idea, too. You can check if the current directory is an svn
repository by branching:

if test `svn info >/dev/null 2>&1; echo $?` -eq 0

and if it is, take the revision into a variable:

GAMBAS_REVISION=`svn info | sed -n 's/^Revision: \(.*\)$/\1/p'`

otherwise make the variable zero.

My problem was to make this variable available to gbx. If anyone helped me
with this, I'd be glad.
