Yes, but if in the future, a revision number format is ever chosen
that doesn't include
0x at the beginning, and is something like:
a23728ea7d592acc69b36875a482cdf3fd5c8d

then this check would fail.  However, none of this
exists yet in SVN, so it is not worth worry about
right now.

It would have been nice if svnversion had
a different return status in non-SVN directories.
Checking svnversion output is fine, but
it looks like a lot of things are changing around
in SVN-land, including the output of commands.
