Not directly updateable: without meta-data, you don't know what's
there, so how could you update it?  However, a few dozen line
Python script could keep a single meta-data file containing just
the revision number, and use that to do an update.

Hm, this seems like a common need, so maybe the tool already
exists.  If not, I see no problem getting it integrated into the
Subversion source tree.
