Description

----Build log excerpt---- 
/mnt/freeport/src/subversion/current/ac-helpers/install-sh -c 
-d /home/cport/tmp/freeport14183.tmp/mnt/freeport/arch/linux32/info

'/mnt/freeport/src/subversion/current' not versioned, and not exported 
make: *** [revision-install] Error 1 
----end---- 
 
/mnt/freeport/src/subversion/current is a symlink, pointing to 
subversion-1.3.1/ in the same directory. The svnversion command does not appear 
to be following the symlink. 
 
I will attach a simple patch to the top-level makefile that addresses the 
issue.
