The version number is determined by the build_tools/make_version script. 
It uses an svn property (by default svnmerge-integrated) in order to 
determine the version.

The reason this is different from what "svn info" shows is that the 
Asterisk repository has commits being made to many different branches. 
It is possible (and likely) that the branch you are currently using was 
last updated by a commit made many revisions ago. The version you see 
from "core show version" in Asterisk should show you the latest revision 
made in the branch you currently are using.  "svn info" just shows the 
latest revision committed to the Asterisk repository, no matter the 
branch you currently have checked out.
