Is there a possibility to insert the revision no of a file in the file.
For example in the description or in a string. Maybe there is a kind of preprocessor command.

You mean the SVN revision number? – Constantinius Sep 04 '12 at 07:55

@ Constantinus: I mean the revision number of my C file (for example) – Peter Sep 04 '12 at 08:11

Note: I need a `C` solution ;) – Peter Sep 04 '12 at 08:12

I prefer this way:
in your C file:
#define SVN_FULL_REV "$Id$"
#define SVN_REV "$Revision$"
Then do:
svn propset svn:keywords 'Id Revision' yourfile.c
Everytime you commit or update the file, SVN_REV will be your revision ID and SVN_FULL_REV the entire info string like "$Id: xxx.c 78 2012-09-04 08:42:34Z Author $".

That's nearly exact what I searched for. But SVN_REV is then something like that `"$Id: xxx.c 78 2012-09-04 08:42:34Z Author $"` It would be nice just to have the Revision no. That would be no problem with c++ (substr) but so far as I know is no function like that available in C. – Peter Sep 04 '12 at 08:57

Then you have to use `$Revision$` instead of `$Id$`. I'll update my answer. – Constantinius Sep 04 '12 at 09:40
