Ah, that's what I thought. No problem then. It's much easier for me 
(probably my only choice for that matter) to use the Beta Tester plugin 
than trying to use Subversion on shared hosting. Prior to the plugin I 
updated to the latest nightly doing it the old fashioned way; manual 
upload via FTP.

And yeah, it would be a nice idea. ;-)
