The only thing that could be of interest is "We are skipping tests around $SVN, because your Git was built without a feature that requires platform support of feature $SVN, which in turn was caused because NO_$SVN=UnfortunatelyYes was in your config.mak.autogen file. You could 'apt-get install $SVN' to lift this artificial limitation in your Git if you wanted to". But the test prereq is probably a bit too roundabout way for that kind of information ;-)
