I have the issue that when I log issues against the website developed by coders on the test website then they are not sure which revision I am currently on.

Now I don't want to make any code change in the main repository for that.

My website is PHP.

Is there any way I can do something in a separate folder, outside www, so that when I load the website some code is inserted automatically on the home page and a revision number gets displayed at the top or bottom?

It can be shell code, PHP code or python script which does that.

In your main files, have a line that includes another file: 

include "version.php";

in version.php:

define("VERSION_NUMBER", "2.0.0");

Then, wherever you want to insert your version number that is controlled by a separate file, you can just 

<p>Version number: <span><?php echo VERSION_NUMBER; ?></span></p>
