SVN: How to tell revision number?

Question

We have a web application deployed to a server, which was done via an svn update. Now, I want to know what revision number was deployed to that server. What command do I use to get this information?

Also, once I get this revision number, I want to deploy that revision to another server. How do I do an svn update and specify a revision number?

Try to launch svn info on the source directory:

svn info path/to/source | grep revision

And:

svn update -r revision

what is the source directory supposed to be? I am at the web root of the application. When I do a pwd, I get /var/www/. So, I tried this command: svn info /var/www/ | grep revision; I got nothing.

If the directory you're in is the directory which you want to get the version number for, a simple svn info should work. If grep is failing for whatever reason, just look at it manually, it shouldn't be too hard to locate.

wouldn't that be grep "^Revision" ? or could it be svn-version-dependent ?

svnversion is another option. In addition to showing you the current version of the checkout, it will also tell you whether any files are modified or if you have a mixed revision working copy (ie not all files are at the same revision).
