title: Get revision number of a remote repository
body: <p>On the local machine it is no problem to get the revision number of a subversion repository with <code>svnversion</code>. Now I want to get the revision number from my online repository (WebDAV with Apache2).</p>
  
  <p>I tried this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>svnversion http://nick:password@www.myhost.de/svn/test`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In a browser it worked as usual (just to ensure there weren't typos or so), but <code>svnversion</code> said that the directory cannot be found. So I presume I was on the wrong track.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get the revision number?</p>
