What I meant was: _you_ should check that if the last nightly build
was installed correctly. Not that every user would have to do that.

We remove the previous version automatically when we install TSVN. So
that's why you don't get multiple entries.

I think we're getting way to far with this. Remember we're talking
about the nightly builds here, not the official releases. I think
people using the nightly builds are skilled enough to determine if the
installation went well or if they need to
uninstall/(reboot)/install/reboot to make it work.
