Comment (by hinder):

 Is it really solved for SVN?  I have a Curie checkout and I manually did
 an svn switch on the manifest repository to get the new thornlist for the
 current trunk.  I then fetched the CRL git repo and switched to the master
 branch to get the latest version.  I then ran

   [ianhin at login-damiana Cactus]$ bin/GetComponents -a --update --root=.
 manifest/einsteintoolkit.th

 It first told me that the URL for simfactory2 had changed, so I moved it
 out of the way.  It then told me

   Error: The URL for EinsteinAnalysis/Multipole has changed, please
 perform a clean checkout.

 Now, the URL will have changed because the branch has changed, but that is
 the only change, I think.  Multipole is stored in SVN, so I don't think
 this is working, unless I've missed something.

 Steps to reproduce:

 {{{
 # Download Curie version
 wget --no-check-certificate
 https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/ET_2011_05/GetComponents
 chmod 755 GetComponents
 ./GetComponents -a
 http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/branches/ET_2011_05/einsteintoolkit.th

 cd Cactus

 # Update GetComponents
 cd repos/CRL
 git fetch
 git checkout master
 cd ../..

 # Update thornlist
 cd manifest
 svn switch http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/trunk
 cd ..

 # Move simfactory away (probably have to do this for Carpet as well)
 mv simfactory simfactory.old

 # Attempt to upgrade to latest version
 bin/GetComponents --update --root=.  manifest/einsteintoolkit.th
 }}}
