    svnversion program from Subversion 1.7 (currently trunk), when invoked
    on unversioned directory, prints "Unversioned directory" instead
    "exported". This change in output is intentional and won't be reverted.

    It causes build failure:
    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -
    -DSVNVERSION="LC_ALL=C svnversion ." -o Modules/getbuildinfo.o
    ./Modules/getbuildinfo.c
    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: directory": No such file or directory
    : warning: missing terminating " character
    ./Modules/getbuildinfo.c: In function '_Py_svnversion':
    ./Modules/getbuildinfo.c:48: error: missing terminating " character
    ./Modules/getbuildinfo.c:48: error: expected expression before ';'
    token
    make: *** [Modules/getbuildinfo.o] Error 1

    I'm attaching the patch which fixes this problem and also updates
    expected output of svnversion.

    Would this patch mean that users of pre-1.7 subversion would get build
    failures? Is it possible to support both forms of wording?

    Yes, and it does.

    I am trying to install Python 2.7.7 or 2.7.3 in one of my linux machine which has RHEL 6.4.

    I am getting the same error, that is mentioned in this bug. I am pasting it below. Please let me know, what should i do here.

    I encountered the same problem w/ 2.7.7.

    Temporary workaround:
    SVNVERSION="Unversioned directory" ./configure
    make
    ...

    Suman, Jon: This issue was closed five years ago and the fixes for it have long been out in the field. Comments on closed issues are likely to be overlooked and not acted on. If you are having a current problem, you should open a new issue, documenting in particular what OS versions and shell you are using, the pertinent values (SVNVERSION, HGVERSION) from the generated Makefile, and the output from:

    echo LC_ALL=C echo Unversioned directory

    FWIW, I was unable to reproduce the failure on a different Unix platform.
