OK, so I am going to be brutally honest here...  The person that wrote 
the CVS/SVN update stuff for CTest is not really working on CMake 
anymore.  I suspect you have found a bug that needs fixing.  We do use 
svn/CTest on many projects at Kitware.  However, no one has complained 
about this bug yet.   It is hard to see.  I have not had the time to 
figure out how to answer your questions.   I will get to it at some 
point, hopefully soon.
