The thing to grasp, is that the actual revision number value is not really for human usage, it’s for subversion to use internally to manage itself. i.e. It just tells you that something in the entire repos has changed. Which is kinda useless information since there are going to be projects you personally don’t care about in there that change at any old time.

I wish the web interface didn’t show the version number in big font and instead showed the “Repo Last Modified Time”. And maybe put the repo revision number in the footer in regular small font size.

The bottom line… Ignore the revision number. Assume you don’t have version numbers in SVN. You just have a list of times that the file was modified, which you can see with svn log.
