Summary0015081: ExternalProject: Clarify SVN_REVISION usage in documentation
DescriptionIn my project, I use ExternalProject to checkout a subversion repo.
In the doc, it is indicated that you must use "SVN_REVISION rev" with rev the revision number.
After some tries, I finally noticed that you must use the following format:

SVN_REVISION -r 2041

Otherwise, ExternalProject complains that 2041 is not an URL.

I think the best form is actually

 SVN_REVISION -r2041

Note that it can also be a date:

 SVN_REVISION "-r{2014-01-01 01:01:00 +0000}"

Perhaps the documentation should simply be updated as:

-# [SVN_REVISION rev] # Revision to checkout from Subversion repo
+# [SVN_REVISION -r<rev>] # Revision to checkout from Subversion repo
