Interesting. The problem we had seen earlier is that the SVN adapter had 
been deciding it was time to build too frequently. I believe that was 
addressed in the most recent build. The approach taken, roughly, is to 
request a list of changes since the date of the most recent build. The 
svn client will return too many results due to a subtelty in how it 
handles revisions. The driver will then filter out any results that 
appear to have been checked in before the previous build. If there are 
any revisions remaining, the build will execute.

My first guess would be that the build server and svn server have clocks 
which are wildly out of sync. Is that possible?
