Nothing stops you building while running from the install directory. 
Only the install target, which takes a few seconds and is probably 
faster than copying all the files, requires the program to be stopped. 
Actually that is only a Windows deficiency, other operating systems 
allow executable files to be replaced on disk while they are loaded into 
memory. The install target only installs files that have changed which 
makes it very quick.

As for backing out, rather than making yet another copy why not just 
revert to a working revision (`svn up rNNNN`) and build that.

The install target is designed to do most of what you are replicating 
with ancillary scripts. Seems to me you are unnecessarily reinventing a 
wheel that has worked very well for a long time.
