title: Using SVN with CruiseControl?
body: <p>I'm trying to use <a href="http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CruiseControl 2.7.3</a>, (the original), to build a Java project that is in an SVN repository.  </p>
  
  <p>My cruise configuration is using the <a href="http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#svn" rel="nofollow noreferrer">svn plugin</a> for the modification set.  When a modification is detected, a build is scheduled using Ant.  That Ant build file then uses the svnant Ant Task to do a complete checkout of the project.  For a while, we had this set to just checkout "HEAD", but we've had cases where the build won't fire for a check in or two because the checkin occurred after the modification set check, but before the ant call to svn checkout.  As a result, we are trying to change the ant build file to use the revision number that the modification check retrieves.</p>
  
  <p>The CruiseControl Configuration Reference page claims that a property, <a href="http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#svn" rel="nofollow noreferrer">svnrevision</a>, is set and passed to the builders, just like the label property is by the <a href="http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#labelincrementer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">labelincrementers</a>.  It appears to not be set when I press the <strong>force build</strong> button.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there something I need to do to make this go?  </p>
