The TSVN update command first fetches the HEAD revision before running
the actual update to ensure that if there are multiple update targets,
all targets are updated to the same revision (just in case that during
the update, someone else makes a commit).

And since the log cache also caches the HEAD revision, that's what
you're seeing here: the HEAD revision of the log cache is used.

You can configure the cache time of the HEAD revision in the settings
dialog->log caching->timeout in seconds before updating the HEAD revision

by default, that value is set to zero.

I guess you have a different value there.

I'll change it so that for the update command, the log cache HEAD isn't
used but the actual HEAD.
