For svn

LC_ALL=C svn info | grep "Last Changed Rev:"

might be appropriate (as already pointed out by Ralf), although I do not know
how stable "Last Changed Rev:" is.

It seems that git uses a different sort of revision numbers, and I do not know
the appropriate command there.

In any case, I guess that it will be enough to provide scripts for git and svn
for the moment, don't you think?
