Yeah, 99.99% of all our builds run in 'clobber' mode - that is the whole build directory gets deleted and a fresh 'svn co' is performed. See r799926 where I changed from 'clobber' to 'update' . This mode will not delete the build dir and will only perform a 'svn up'. On occasion builds can get dirty and may need a cleanout once in a while, please keep an eye out if that is required. A third method is 'copy' mode. That is, the build dir does not get clobbered, but a fresh checkout of the svn tree is performed into a neutral directory. We can try this method later down the road of the other proves troublesome. Gav...
