NAME
       svnversion - Produce a compact version identifier for a working copy.

SYNOPSIS
       svnversion [options] [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 previ‐
       ous versions of those files at any time.

       For more information about the Subversion project, visit http://subversion.apache.org.
