SVN Keywords Question

[DavidCAIT]

Is there any svn keyword which indicates the last date when ANY file in the
SVN repository was updated? For example, if I have three files in my SVN
repository:

readme.txt
myWebapp.jar
welcome.jpg

Is there any SVN keyword that I could put in readme.txt which would be
updated with the most recent date that any file in the repository was
updated? For example, if I updated welcome.jpg on July 2nd then I would want
the text in "readme.txt" to indicate that the package was last updated on
July 2nd even though I haven't updated my readme file.

Thanks!

Your question is virtually the same as this one:

This question is often asked, usually referring to a revision, not
a date.  I believe that svn provides no functions in this area.

Here's the best I can offer.

I don't believe there's a keyword that will do what you want.

However, most places have stopped using keywords due to a variety of
issues. As long as you're in Subversion, you can easily get whatever
information you need by using the svn commands. (For example, "svn
info" will give you the information you need).

What if your software is in a production site site and outside of
Subversion revision control? Have your build system create a file that
contains the information you want. For example, our build process
creates a file called version.properties which contains the production
version ID, the Subversion revision ID, the date of last change, etc..
