The problem is that you have 2 separate update sources. If you updated with subversion I am not sure if it would screw up the web update. However, using subversion and Web Update together will REALLY mess up subversion. It's either one or the other, not both. For developer's of apps using dabo, it is better to use web update. For people that actually contribute code to the framework, it is not only better but necessary to use subversion. Hope this clears things up a bit.
