You can also use the -r switch of svn to check out an exact revision.  For
example, when I update my .20-fixes on one machine, I note the revision it
updates to, and then on my other machines run svn update -r [revision#]. 
If there's a lot of updates, I guess this would take more internet
bandwidth than probably needed, but, it's easy too.
