svnversion is pretty slow, particularly on windows

Description

buildbot uses the svnversion program to pick a version number to report. svnversion takes a while to run though. On windows, it often takes several minutes, which can be longer than the actual build takes. Apparently svnversion is used to provide a consistent version number, regardless of whether "svn update" or "svn checkout" is being used, since they report different version numbers.

I suggest using "svn info" instead of "svnversion" to get a consistent version number.
