* just for George, don't try to get the SVN r number if we don't need it. This

should speed up autogen.sh on platforms with really slow svnversion searches,
  as we only need the base version for autogen, which means we don't need the
  r number.
* Since I can't type, add an error message if an invalid argument is given

This commit was SVN r7224.
