Hi folks,

It looks like the SVN checkout step doesn't honor alwaysUseLatest=True
if the SourceStamp has a revision.

You can see why here:
http://github.com/djmitche/buildbot/blob/b4f187dc07682d865fdf47edf74ea6604c9327dc/buildbot/steps/source.py#L174

The manual says of alwaysUseLatest: “if True, bypass the usual “update
to the last Change” behavior, and always update to the latest changes
instead.”

I'd like to propose setting revision to None before calling startVC if
alwaysUseLatest is set. But, I don't want to break anything else.

Comments? Suggestions? Am I understanding correctly?

Thanks,

Zellyn
