Woohoo! It works... but some feedback below:

This is the only statement that I can't evaluate. 'add-value' is an
undefined symbol in my GNU emacs 21.1.50.2.

When I changed the function to 'add-to-list', everything magically
worked for me. When I loaded a svn-controlled file, sure enough, the
working revision appeared in the modeline.

A suggestion though: I've become habituated to equating "*" with
"locally modified", and ":" with no local mods. So it's confusing to
me that you're using ":" to mean "svn-locally-modified".
