Atomic check-in / "build" number

Hiya

I know how to get individual file version numbers in to .cs files, eg

/* $Author: tf $   
 * $Archive: (whatever) $
 * $Revision: 38 $
 * $Modtime: 2007-02-27 12:56:54+00:00 $ 
 */

However, is there any way I can get a number that refers to the state of the repository at any particular moment in time? Ie a number that refers to a certain set of version numbers of all the different files?

Ideally I'll be able to fetch that in code so that it can be used inside the program itself, eg in a help->about dialogue.

That's worded terribly I know but it's nearly the end of the week, forgive me!

Thanks

Sounds like you need the folder version at a particular point in time. While you can get this from a History query by version, there's no support for folder version in keyword expansion.

Any chance of a feature request please? Can't be too hard to implement.

Thanks.

I'll add a feature request for that.
