Thanks for the reply, Daniel.

Actually no. Makepkg will place me specifically in $srcdir which is 
"<working folder>/src". If a 'svn export' is made from makepkg's 
$SRCDEST to $srcdir, the copy inside $srcdir won't be a svn working 
copy.

See the ouptut:

~/repos/pkgbuilds/pcsx2-svn/src/pcsx2 $ LC_ALL=C svn info | grep 
^Revision
svn: E155007: '/home/rafael/repos/pkgbuilds/pcsx2-svn/src/pcsx2' is not 
a working copy

... however:

~/sources/pcsx2 $ LC_ALL=C svn info | grep ^Revision
Revision: 5607
