utils._svnRevision is broken due to using undefined function getInfo

This time it looks that this was not broken because of my changes :) Probably this function is not needed any more?

[timj]

From what I can tell the use of getInfo was added in commit 4ada4fc (from 2008) and even in that checkout there is no definition of getInfo.

[timj]

Am I correct in thinking that nothing calls _svnRevision anyhow?

[migueldvb]

Yes, I think it is safe to remove _svnRevision.

[mjuric]

Just to be on the safe side -- @r-owen, how did you find this? Did it trigger a problem with everyday work, or did it come out of a linter?

[r-owen]

pyflakes found it. I strongly suspect the function is not being used (since it is guaranteed to fail if run) but I didn't bother to check.

[timj]

Nothing in the source references that function. It can be removed.

[mjuric]

+1 to remove it.
