How to update automatically a file when committing with SVN

Question

I'm looking for a way to update a file (let's say lastbuild.txt) with the last SVN revision number when I commit. How can I do that ?

thank you :)

you cant modify files under version control with a post commit hook. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/650168/post-commit-hook-to-update-a-file-under-version The only option is to do it with a build script. — Gabriel Solomon, Oct 20 '09 at 08:54

SVN supports hooks - scripts or programs that get called on certain actions. You may set a post-commit hook that will update file for you.

If the file is under versioning you can use svn:keywords it's way easier than hooks.
