[Distutils] setuptools problem with --tag-svn-revision and localized svn messages

[Christopher Lenz]

Hi all,

I just tried to run the build of my project on a box that has  
localized SVN messages (German). As the tag_svn_revision option is  
enabled in the setup config, setuptools calls "svn info" and tries to  
parse the output, looking for "Last Changed Rev: (\d+)" string. In  
the german output this label is obviously different, so the parsing  
will fail and the build will abort.

I can temporarily switch subversion to use English messages for the  
build:

   $ export LC_MESSAGES=en_US
   $ ./setup.py test

But still, this should probably be fixed in setuptools.

Thanks,
Chris
