 Replying to [comment:54 martinl]:
 > OK, so let me change ''at least'' milestone to 6.4.2 to keep record.

 yes, I realized I picked the wrong box after I submitted it.

 Still, it is only relevant for svn (nightly) builds, and is redundant for
 final releases. It's fundamentally a dev branch aid.

 The release branch must be tested when .svn/ dirs and svn CLI tools are
 not present on the tarball/build machine. (in my quick tests last year I
 just su renamed those temporarily in /usr/bin/, see earlier comments in
 the ticket) It would not be nice to only discover a bug once the tarball
 was released and a non-dev tried it.
