Although I support your idea in general, adding the .svn folder as a whole would add another 331 KiB to the bzipped tarball. Although this sure isn't much, it would cause additional load for mirrors and smallband modem users. I'm not involved in the snapshot tarballing process, but I think it's easier just to exclude .svn directories in general than excluding every one except the root one. Updating the revision in the ebuild seems easier to me at least. MPlayer releases include a VERSION, snapshots without .svn (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/mplayer-export-snapshot.tar.bz2) include a snapshot_version file. I'd suggest e.g. using the MPlayer snapshots and using the snapshot_version file to generate a VERSION file in the ebuild that also indicates it is a gentoo build.
