Strange, the .svn/ directory is part of the GRASS source code.

Yes, indeed.

Yes.

Yes, a packaging problem which hinders to run GRASS properly on Ubuntu.
On all other distros I know there is no such issue, so we need to
implement a workaround in case of absence of "svnversion". In my
compiled Fedora package I can extract it also from here:

grep SVN dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/include/Make/Platform.make
GRASS_VERSION_SVN   = 63869M
