[GRASS-dev] question about configure

This is probably a naive question. Why does configure check for svnversion? Why should configure care whether I am using svn, cvs, or other versioning software? I've never noticed this check before until the last month. Maybe it was always there and I just missed it.

It's so that "g.version" can print the SVN revision, and it's a fairly
recent addition (r39622 in trunk, 2009-25-10).
