The keyword $Revision$ can substitute in a file the revision of the last
commit to that file. But that number won't change on commits to other files.

A tool is available, WCSubRev.exe, that reads the Subversion status of
all files in a working copy (excluding externals), and can substitute in
a file the revision of the last commit (among other things). It is
usually called in build scripts while making a (tag for) release.
