----------

I did a later 2nd svn export, & saw   Exported revision 274125
A find & grep 274125 resulted in .. head/usr.bin/wc/ Makefile & wc.c

So there is no place where ctm src-cur users can refer to SVN revision number,
So I suggest the ctm generator could be slightly extended eg approx:
	svn export file:///usr/svn/base/head > ../output
	tail -1 ../output | sed -e 's/Exported revision //' \
	| sed -e 's/.$//' > head/.svn_revision

[ Perhaps later, similarly for ports & stables too ? ]

Cheers,
Julian
