versioning

I am working on a project that stores multiple versions in the same svn repo but in different directories. For ease of reference for the coders working on the project I'd like to be able to add a commented tag similarly to

# $Revision: 144 $

However, instead of the file revision it should contain a simple version number like so:

# $Version: 1.63 $
# $Version: 1.64 $
# $Version: 2.0 $

Is there a way to get subversion to do this automatically for a specific directory and all sub-directories as well as for any new files added to those?
