In current SVN GRASS 6.4 make install creates the ".svn" subdir in
etc/gem/skeleton. What is it for? Bogus?

Bogus.

There are a few Makefiles which perform a "bulk install" by copying an
entire directory using e.g. tar. This results in unnecessary files,
e.g. the .svn directory, Makefile, any backup files created by text
editors, etc.

In the case of gem, it's the top-level Makefile which does it:

  -tar cBf - gem/skeleton | (cd ${INST_DIR}/etc ; tar xBf - ) 2>/dev/null
