I guess that they didn't use svn export before because that will export the
external sources in ext_sources/, I'm not sure if there is a way to tell svn
export to ignore tracked folders.

My initial intuition on this, subject to being overridden by my own or others actual experience, is in favor of a simple shell script with no dependencies.

The idea is to start from a clean check-out, not configured, move the LICENSE, NOTICE, and README files, and delete what is not needed. "what is not needed" should be a relatively short list, including the .svn files and also ext_sources.

The find-rm line that deletes the .svn files will work without errors, but do nothing, if there are no .svn directories.

The result will be the content to be archived to make the source files.

I feel this will be more robust than the current approach, which couples the source release process to the effects of configure on each target system.
