Google points out a few solutions, but most of them require optional SVN tasks or do an exec. Someone (sorry, I would put a link if I could remember) came up with the simple solution of using the stored SVN information from the filesystem. So:

    <loadfile property="svn.revision" srcFile="./.svn/entries">
        <filterchain>
        <headfilter lines="1" skip="3"/>
        <deletecharacters chars="\n"/>
        </filterchain>
   </loadfile>

loads the current revision number into a property called svn.revision. I use this with svn 1.4 and 1.5 repositories and it works just fine.
