Works for me... what's in your SVN-REVISION file? Notice that there is 
some slightly weird logic to distinguish whether you are building from 
SVN or from tarballs, based on the existence of $(srcdir)/doc/FAQ and 
$(builddir)/non-tarball. If you have the former and not the latter, it 
is assumed that there will be a ready-made SVN-REVISION.

There's a bug in the Makefile, though:

svnonly:
    @if test ! -f "$(srcdir)/doc/FAQ" || test -f non-tarball ; then \
      (cd doc/manual && $(MAKE) front-matter html-non-svn) ; \
      touch non-tarball ; \
      (cd $(srcdir); LC_ALL=C TZ=GMT svn -rHEAD info || $(ECHO) 
"Revision: unknown") 2> /dev/null \
        | sed -n -e '/^Revision/p' -e '/^Last Changed Date/'p \
        | cut -d' ' -f1,2,3,4 > SVN-REVISION-tmp ; \
...etc...

I don't think we want the -rHEAD there since it can cause the version 
stamp to become different from the version of the source files in case 
of an intervening commit.
