In the elogd.c file nearly at the very top is the following line:

char svn_revision[] = "$Id: elogd.c 2411 2011-04-01 14:39:35Z ritt $";

How does this information get into the source file?  Is it a script used when the svn changes are committed, or perhaps when they are checked out?  Any details or pointers to info on the web would be greatly appreciated.

This gets handled automatically by SVN. All you have to do is to put an "$Id$" in your text somewhere and enable the keyword ID. See for example
