title: .NET: Large revision numbers in AssemblyVersionAttribute
body: <p>We have the convention of versioning our builds as [major].[minor].[micro].[revision], e.g. 2.1.2.33546.</p>
  
  <p>Our build-script automatically updates an AssemblyInfo.cs file containing </p>
  
  <pre><code>[assembly: AssemblyVersion("x.y.z.w")]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in order to embed the version-number in the assembly.</p>
  
  <p>But our Subversion-repository just reached revision #65535, which broke our build.</p>
  
  <p>It turns out that each number in the version-number has a maximum value of 65534 (probably due to a Windows-restriction).</p>
  
  <p>Have you encountered this problem? Any good solutions/workarounds?</p>
  
  <p>We like the scheme of embedding the revision-number and we obviously can't just reset our Subversion-server :-)</p>
