An ideal script would:
Still work with svn (I don't think people will stop using the svn mirror 
soon).
Count the number of revisions shared between the local tree and upstream 
(local commits don't increment the version number, nor do upstream commits 
that haven't been fetched).
Check wether there are local commits or non-committed modifications.
Add part of the hash just to be sure.
