I would like something, that substitutes automatically, works on svn  
co and svn up and can be used to obtain the exact sources I was  
playing with, given say a hard coded url and branch name.  I can  
promise to only co or up the whole tree and to not have any  
modifications in the tree.  Ideally, I'd like this to be stable, so  
that the number doesn't increment if there are no actual changes in  
my tree, though, this last point isn't critical.
