Yep, but I just figured out what happened. I ran sdist on the original
svn checkout to get a snapshot that I could hang on to. I then ran a
bdist_egg *on that snapshot*, which would logically not appear to be
an svn checkout. I was thrown off by the fact that tag_build still
worked...

It might be nice if an sdist that is tagged with a revision number
creates eggs with that number, but that'd be a pretty low priority I
would think. The only reason I even took an sdist snapshot is that I'm
always paranoid about things disappearing off the net for one reason
or another and like to have a local copy of parts that I'm actively
using.
