New issue 1409 by v.villenave: Enhancement: printing the repeat count when no alternatives are present
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1409

As Trevor pointed out, this feature has been requested several times already.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-11/msg00405.html

It would be good to have an optional setting, off by default, which
causes the repeat count in a volta repeat to be printed above the
repeat bar line when no alternatives are present.  For example,

\voltaCountOn
\repeat volta 4 { ... }
% no alternatives follow

would print "x4" above the bar line closing the repeat.

James suggested another way of printing this:
"""
I've never seen it done like that but seem to remember a normal volta bracket on the last measure of the repeated section with '1-4' on it.
"

I've seen both, but the "x4" is indeed commonly used in repetitive music (I remember seeing it in Reich's Vermont Counterpoint original edition).
