Ok, I'm afraid there's not much to do about svn being crap :/

How come you are only seeing this now? We've been calling
setlocalversion since 2010. Did you recently upgrade your svn version?

Looking at the kernel history (where setlocalversion comes from), I see
a commit from Mike Frysinger where the svn status step is skipped as it
was deemed too slow, so perhaps we should just resync our
setlocalversion script with the kernel:

    kbuild,setlocalversion: shorten the make time when using svn
    
    Don't bother doing `svn st` as it takes a retarded amount of time when
    the source is cold

I'll do that now.
