Most of my reasons are in my response to Bruce, so I will not repeat them
here. However, to be clear: my issue is not that running 'svn update' or
whatever is hard in puppet.
It is that all the *other* parts of updating a software deployment are hard,
and most people don't have the luxury of using that one action, alone, to
achieve it.
Out of interest: how do you handle database schema updates and synchronisation
between multiple web servers in a load-balanced pool in your deployment
through puppet model?

...that, I look forward to the bigger picture — but my money was on the OP
solving the 'svn update' part of his deployment problem, then asking about the
next part of his deployment strategy. :)
So, yeah, I look forward to better tools in puppet for managing this, but
I really don't think it is there today ... and I don't know if it will get
there, either, since there *are* different demands. I would like it to,
though.

FWIW, aside from modelling interactions between servers, my other major pain
from puppet comes from modelling systems that have multiple, independent
components that form part of another component; the plethora of "concatenated
file" modules are evidence of that. :)
