mismatch between checkout number in logs and in scheme/last-revision

[Marco Maggi]

Checking out Ikarus with bazaar and doing "bzr log" shows checkout
revision 1690, but the file "scheme/last-revision" shows 1688.
This is a problem in some check in script (or something) because it
happens regularly. Of course the wrong revision shows in the
banner when running interactive "ikarus".

This is a problem with me not running make before checkin. The last-revision file is generated by the makefile by copying the revision number from my ".bzr/branch/last-revision" file. The problem is that if you do a lightweight checkout from the repository, you won't have that file (I don't know where bzr gets the revision number from when you do "bzr revno").

If you can figure out how to get the precise revision number (without invoking bzr), that would be great.

If you know how to configure bzr so that it generates that file whenever you commit, that would be good too.

Marking this as a wishlist since it's nice to have but not too important. I will be happy to apply a fix if available.
