You're almost correct. One of the problems with using the latest
Subversion release (besides requiring that Subversion be installed)
is that some changes may be committed that have not been fully tested
yet. If you were to update to those revisions, chances are you could
start getting errors that previously didn't exist in your apps.
So what we do is once a set of changes has been sufficiently tested
so that we feel that the chance of causing problems is fairly small,
that revision is marked as the current Web Update revision. This way,
updating is not only fast and easy, but safe.
