yes.

!!! This, however, works:
svn up -r 381595
svn up -r 381595 rulesrc
ie. run the command separately for the two areas. in other words it's
an "svn update" bug. I'll report it.
It is certainly very important that the nightly mass-checks be performed
using the correct revision; if you mass-check using an earlier or later
rev, your data will be ignored by the backend!
