I did check out the Shipwright code from code.bestpractical.com.  I used 
svn 1.1.4 since that's what came packaged with the OS (CentOS 4).  I 
didn't think that the argument type for 'svn info' would've changed 
between those versions, but a quick check on a system with 1.4.6 
installed tells me that it has!  Now I feel like an idiot, since 
RPMforge has a CentOS 4 package for 1.4.6...

Sorry to have bothered you...
