In my point of view its's the svn command which is incompatible with the 
build.xml.

Well; I'd say yes ...

<project name="josm" default="dist" basedir=".">
...
        <target name="dist" depends="compile">
...
                <exec append="false" output="REVISION" 
			   executable="svn" failifexecutionfails="false">
                        <env key="LANG" value="C"/>
                        <arg value="info"/>
                        <arg value="--xml"/>
                        <arg value="."/>
                </exec>

This will start a command "svn info --xml ." which is not supported in the svn 
version deivered with ubuntu-hardy.

I think we should change this to using the svn features itself of replacing 
text with the current Version Number ($Revision$ with enable-auto-props)
