Interesting.  I thought that --tag-svn-revision was a common/recommended
practice.  I followed the advice to have a setup.cfg like:

[egg_info]
tag_build = .dev
tag_svn_revision = 1

But I noticed that the release with the meta data didn't have the  
subversion information or the .dev tag, which is consistent with  
register not being aware of the extra information.

Is this a bug? :)

If it isn't, then I recommend that you either stop recommending  that  
people use setup.cfg this way or stop recommending that they upload  
their files to PyPI.
