	Well, it is more careless than malicious, but that does happen :-)

...
> Point is mixing revisions is wrong.

	True. And your "get the latest revision" trick isn't bad,
although I think I would prefer to do it via an svn info.

	Another way to do it would be be to checkout
all of the components in one operation.
(i.e. svn checkout/update http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv 
http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins 
http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/myththemes DIRECTORY)


	I also just discovered "svn switch new_repository",
which should eliminate problems when user wants a tag
or branch, but existing checked out version if trunk.

...
> OK. I figured there were too many options

	Agreed, but none of the existing options really fit.
Unless we overload "nohead"
