About five years ago, I decided that the SVN Revision Number was a logical thing to use for the LabVIEW "Build" component of the Version Number Cluster.  TSVN had a way to get this, but you needed the SVN Command Tool.  I started turning on this bit for every SVN installation I performed -- once you do it on a machine, its setting seems to persist when you update your TSVN version.

Jeff, 

Compatibility may have been an issue.  I had Tortoise SVN 1.10.1 installed and I believe that the toolkit is only compatible with 1.8.* and 1.9.* releases.  I uninstalled 1.10.1 and grabbed the latest version of 1.9.* (1.9.5 i think) BUT I still couldn't install the Viewpoint toolkit.  I ended up copying the Viewpoint TSVN Toolkit package that I downloaded at home and installed it manually from the VIPM file menu.  No issues. 

I'm going to test it out for a while and then just go back to Tortoise SVN without the toolkit if it slows things down...

Cheers
