Your computer hates you... ;-)

	$ grep revnumber /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/4.5/*
	.../ChangeLog: ... Make revnumber optional
	.../dbpoolx.mod: <!ELEMENT revision %ho; (revnumber?, date, ...
	...

Try the above grep command, you should get the same output...

> 1- I create a pot file, after editing the xml file.
> 2- I create the po-fr file.
> 3- I commit
> Some days after, I "svn update". The revnumber in the xml file is
> changed. 4- I run make po-fr : the msgid "$Revision: xxxx $" is

> 5- svn status lists the po file as "M"...and there you have it!

Damned, of course you are right. :-(

The SVN $Revision$ keyword should never be used as DocBook's 
<revnumber>, instead a static number should be used:

<revhistory>
    <revision>
        <revnumber>0.91</revnumber>
        <date>11 Dec 1996</date>
        <authorinitials>ndw</authorinitials>
        <revremark>Bug fixes</revremark>
    </revision>

    <revision>
        <revnumber>0.90</revnumber>
        <date>30 Nov 1996</date>
        <authorinitials>ndw</authorinitials>
        <revremark>First beta release</revremark>
    </revision>
</revhistory>

(Example from DTDG.)
