I'm assuming you meant git. SVN hasn't been updated in ~ 2 years.

It looks like what is happening is your vapigen is being built with an
old libvala vapi (probably the version installed in your system).
Someone had a similar issue a while back in IRC, and they solved it by
building and installing valac without vapigen, then building and
installing with vapigen. A bit of a hack, I know, but I haven't been
able to reproduce the issue, so I have no idea what is really going on.

Is there anything interesting about your environment? Are you trying to
build out of tree or anything like that? Is it a fresh checkout?
