How can I check which revision (svn revision) of webkit is used in a specific Safari binary? For example, I'd like to know which revision is used in the newest Safari on Mac (snow leopard 10.6.7).
User-agent doesn't provide this information :(

Google's Chrome web browser was built on WebKit, an open source rendering engine developed by Apple that also underpins many other browsers, including Safari and Opera. But on Wednesday, Google told the world it will no longer use WebKit.
Google Chrome uses Blink rendering engine, while Safari uses WebKit. But, in iOS, Google Chrome uses WebKit.
You can get an approximation using the version tag of Webkit as it appears in User-Agent :
Let's take for example the following user-agent :
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/537.13+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.7 Safari/534.57.2
Webkit version is advertised here as 537.13+. This version tag is generated from following source file :
https://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/Configurations/Version.xcconfig
You could then take a look at which SVN revisions embeded this specifig version tag.
