Thanks. Tried both of these and haven't noticed any problems.

I had some problems building on msys/mingw - the condition in
getluatexsvnversion.sh:

if ([ -x `which svnversion` ] && [ -d ./.svn ])

evaluated always true even though I had no svnversion command in the
path. I changed it to:

if ( [ -d ./.svn ] && svnversion > /dev/null )

I would also suggest to remove the 'svn up' from the script. While
working on/testing local changes you do not necessarily want to keep
the working copy in sync with the head. And perhaps
luatex_svnversion.h cloud be created/updated only when the revision
number actually changes rather than every time (i.e. read the old
revision from luatex_svnversion.h and compare it with `svnversion
-c`), but my shell script-fu is not good enough to send you a patch
for this.

Cheers,
