Re: Version-value-in-source alternative proposal

Here's another problem with the current
<http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#version-value-in-source> solution:

My team can't use 'svn export'-ed code to build...assuming 'svnversion .'
requires the .svn meta-data dirs. Up until now, our build procedure for
official builds called for 'svn export'-ing the source dirs, creating a
tar-ball "snapshot", saving the snapshot in an archive (because repos of
any kind can one day get corrupted), and building the build from said
"source snapshot."

One can presumably not do this with
<http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#version-value-in-source> but could
do so with the proposed solution below.
