Patch fixing LATESTREVISION determination

Hi,

Please find attach a patch that fixes LATESTREVISION determination, which
actually fixes "manual" articles/books build (i.e., typing `make` in the right
directory).

The current code has two problems:
1. Git or SVN information retrieval depends on the current locale, and doesn't
work with non-English ones.
2. Fallback for LATESTREVISION most of the time (sometimes works, probable
race) itself fails because PWD is set to document's directory + '/obj', but
sources are in the document's directory.

Point 2 is the most annoying because documentation builds simply fails
(`xsltproc` becomes unable to resolve 'latestrevision.*' variables in, e.g.,
articles). But point 2's failure appears only because of point 1's failure,
which doesn't happen on a machine with English or C locale.

Thanks.
