I use svn in command line. How can I get the head version number in command line. I need the number,not only to see the info . I want to use this number to build my project automatic.

As the comment below mentioned, this can be achieved by the following command in the newer SVN clients:
svn info -rHEAD --show-item revision
Original Answer
Here is simple shell script thingy for you. Execute: svn info -rHEAD | grep Revision | cut -d' ' -f2
See it in action:
main$ svn info -rHEAD
Path: main
URL: svn://url/trunk/main
Repository Root: svn://url
Repository UUID: xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx
Revision: 17042
Node Kind: directory
Last Changed Author: Nishant
Last Changed Rev: 17040
Last Changed Date: 2012-08-09 11:29:05 +0530 (Thu, 09 Aug 2012)
main$ svn info -rHEAD | grep Revision | cut -d' ' -f2
17042
Edit1: updated to fetch head rev.
