It would be useful to be able to retrieve the revision returned by computeSourceRevision in a source checkout step without a specified revision. The following tiny patch simply sets the "revision" property appropriately.
The motivation here is that I am using Perforce, which does not properly support the "got_revision" property. It would obviously be preferable to fix the Perforce support to support got_revision, but I have been unable to determine a proper way to do that. I believe that this alternate solution is generally useful, though.
