When trying to install review board straight from an svn checkout I get an
exception:
# python setup.py install

This makes it really hard to track changes with my custom patches applied
on the source tree, I have to run svn export each time something changes
and then reapply my changes...

This is a bug in setuptools. I've seen it before, but I'm not aware of any fix.

There's actually two bugs:
1) They forgot to import "log"
2) They don't understand any recent .svn/entries format.

I can't do anything about either of these. You might want to try
upgrading/downgrading setuptools, or use a Git-svn checkout or something (if you're
familiar with Git), which will bypass their .svn/entries check.
