Build a package from an svn checkout -> it works 2. Build a package from a tree exported with svn export -> it fails, since the MANIFEST.in is nonexistent/incomplete, but you never notice that while developing 3. Change the test fixture to ignore .svn subdirectories when tarring up the working tree and copying it into the virtual machine for building (cannot use svn export here, since the tests need to test your working tree with uncommitted changes).
Can't you use an sdist here instead of a manually-created tarball? Or would that not fix the problem for some reason?
