Dear cmake users,

I have a question if, and how, you use the Subversion module of cmake.
The module provides the macro Subversion_WC_INFO, which extracts information of a working copy. I use this information, to generate a sub minor revision number of my project. If I checkout my project using svn, it works. But if I export it, the modules failes with a fatal error. At the moment, I check, if my directory is a working copy and if it is not, the version variable is not defined. In my oppinion, it would be better, if the macro from the subversion module would simply define a variable "is_working_directory" instead of failing hard.
What do you think about this idea? How do you use the subversion module?
The patch would be easy, and I would send one to the developer mailing list, if desired.

Regards,
Andreas
