Subversion revision number?

If you’re using the bzr-svn plugin to allow you to easily to interact with upstream projects using Bazaar, how do you find out the Subversion revision number that you happen to be at? (The bzr revno is, in general, going to be something different)

Seems to be a common question; I found myself asking it today. Turns out that the bzr-svn plugin adds a line to the bzr log output telling you the answer:

$ cd ~/vcs/gnome-util/trunk
$ bzr pull
$ bzr log | less
------------------------------------------------------------
revno: 6852
svn revno: 8199 (on /trunk)
committer: gforcada
timestamp: Tue 2008-11-25 12:52:19 +0000
message:
  Updated Catalan translation
------------------------------------------------------------
revno: 6851
svn revno: 8197 (on /trunk)
committer: gforcada

8199, apparently. :)

Nice feature!

Thanks to Matt Nordhoff for pointing this out to me in #bzr.
