====== Including Subversion information in LaTeX ======
The Subversion ''Id'' keyword allows you to include useful information about the repository status of a file into that file. Subversion properties and specifically the ''svn:keyword Id'' property are explained in the subversion book

A package has been created that allows Subversion keyword information flexibly in your LaTeX document.
Once the package is installed using it is very simple. First ensure that the ''Id'' keyword is activated for the file in question:
  $ svn propset svn:keywords "Id" foo.tex
(see also [[svn#various_tips_tricks]]).
Then include the following lines:
  \usepackage{svninfo}
  \svnInfo $Id$
The ''$Id$'' line will be expanded by subversion the next time you check-in or update ''foo.tex''

The ''Id'' information can then be acessed by using the commands of the ''svninfo'' package. For example
  \svnId
will give you all of the ''Id'' information. Each element: filename, date, revision number, user are also available separately; see the documentation of the ''svninfo'' package for details.
