Hi

I dont think this will not work in general.
svn will only fill in the new revision when the Core.cpp file are
updated [1].
The SVN $Rev$ keyword are designed to track changes to a signle file,
not to the whole SVN repository.

In order to get the "global" SVN revision number for the last checkout
you have to use the tool svnversion [2].
svnversion can extract the "global" revision number and insert it into
config.h during configure/cmake config.h creation.

xerxes at xerxes-J464X:~$ cd llvm
xerxes at xerxes-J464X:~/llvm$ svnversion
112596

svnversion can also detect modified svn trees.

Cheers
