Doh;

I came across this bug when doing the OFED 1.5 branch. Some of the
package rules files had this included in the clean target:

find $(CURDIR) -type d -name ".svn" -exec rm -rf {} \

The break svn-buildpackage, as it need the .svn directories. That line
should not be needed, as dpkg-buildpackage is smart enough to ignore
.svn and .cvs directories.

I have not pushed the fixes into trunk yet.

Cheers,

Guy
