SubWCRev.exe - Won't Work on Files in My Documents

I want to check the SVN revision of a file in my working copy. I found some helpful code elsewhere on Matlab Exchange:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/29225-check-subversion-version-control-status http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47520-subwcrev-m

However, when I try evalc on a directory or file in 'My Documents', SubWCRev.exe doesn't seem to be able to identify the rev... I suspect it has something to do with admin privileges. It'll find the rev just fine on a copy of the repo stored elsewhere on my PC (e.g. root directory, Desktop, etc). Any ideas? Here's what I'm doing:

file = 'C:\Users\myusername\Documents\myrepository';  
subwcrev = 'SubWCRev.exe';
results = evalc(sprintf('!%s %s',subwcrev,file));

Thanks in advance!

What does subWCRev return then?

Which version of tsvn?

results = system(sprintf('"%s" "%s"',subwcrev,file));

Which release of MATLAB are you using? We introduced Git and Subversion source control integration through the Current Folder browser in release R2014b. If you have that release or later, check out the first item in the Desktop section of the Release Notes for that release of MATLAB for more information to see if it does what you need and/or want.

I'm using R2015a. I like the SVN integration in the GUI, but would like to execute a Matlab function that'll return my SVN revision, e.g. as a string. SubWCRev.exe is one way I've found that works (in most cases). Is there an existing function within Matlab that already does this?

I'm not certain. I did a quick search through the documentation and didn't see anything, but I could have missed it. This seems like a reasonable question to ask Technical Support, and if there is no such function you could ask them to enter your request for it into the enhancement database.
