It's that simple: Build Management is a part (a subset) of Software Configuration Management, not vise versa. Thus, you cannot make SCM "a build system's job". You'll have source code management (version control), build management, issue tracking etc. - combined together. You'll even have some ALM solution, but it's NOT build systems' job to handle the whole SCM.
It's like somebody say "it's the engine transporting me and my car is my engine"... absurd, isn't it? Your car has an engine, but it's not all, you got lots of other parts combined together.
P.S. And the subject defenetly has nothing to do about SVN or CVS
