When using SVN, where is the revision-number stored?
Special:Version pulls it out of the metadata files which come with a checkout - see the hidden ".svn" directories in the working copy you have.
My 1.9 alpha is r18584, but Special:Version displays r18120.
I'm not sure why that might be - I can only suggest that "something funky" happened and your checkout isn't entirely at the same revision?
How to update Special:Version? "php update.php" doesnt work.
You can't, it's programmatic.
