You're probably right, because the CMS built files are checked in, in
a different place in SVN ... in a different repo even! The thing is,
if a dev makes his/her own change and there are others stacked up
which haven't been published yet, then by default all those stacked up
changes are included in the dev's publish of his own change.
Admittedly a complete diff is shown in CMS, but if the dev doesn't
want to publish all the other changes, it's difficult to unpick them.
