OK...  How about (untested) something like:

Index: sys/conf/newvers.sh
===================================================================
--- sys/conf/newvers.sh (revision 226724)
+++ sys/conf/newvers.sh (working copy)
@@ -88,7 +88,7 @@
 i=`${MAKE:-make} -V KERN_IDENT`
 
 for dir in /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin; do
-       if [ -d "${SYSDIR}/.svn" -a -x "${dir}/svnversion" ] ; then
+       if [ ( -d "${SYSDIR}/.svn" -o -d "${SYSDIR}/../.svn" ) -a -x 
"${dir}/svnversion" ] ; then
                svnversion=${dir}/svnversion
                break
        fi

then?  That should preserve current behavior for the case you & Jilles
expressed concern about, while repairing the currently-broken default
case.

I believe it's in the interest of the project to have that default
case working again (at least) in time for 9.0-RELEASE.

Please.

I'm staying out of the "svnversion vs. svn info" branch of the thread.
