Revision information in sources?

[J. Bobby Lopez]

I suppose, instead of doing a 'bzr export',  I could just do something like:

bzr branch <remote_branch> ./new_branch;
cd new_branch/;
echo $(bzr tags -r `bzr revno`) > VERSION.txt;
rm -fr .bzr;

Was just curious if there was a more common way of doing it.
