The svn information is stripped out (by the find command), which is 
actually quite important since keeping it in will approximately double 
the size of the source archive. Without this information svn up is not 
possible. Having said this you could maintain 2 copies of the source, 
one with the svn information left in and one without and just make a 
copy of the 'live' to the one which is used as the image of the 
distribution tarball. This is then stripped, autogen'ed and tar'ed.
