I think that might be useful... but it is not there in existing cmake
releases. So... if a project must use an existing cmake release, it needs to
add the check for the working copy (however it thinks best to implement such
a thing...) in its own source code.

Modifications to Subversion_WC_INFO should be filtered through its module
maintainer. If he thinks it's ok, then it's probably ok.

This page:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Module_Maintainers

...lists "tristan dot carel at gmail dot com" as the FindSubversion module
maintainer...

Let's see what he says.
