Because that's a good way to break your build target. I can't tell you
how many times I've seen apps/websites borked because someone promoted
what they *thought* was an isolated change to a single file. Generally
speaking, bandwidth and machine-time are both cheap compared to human
time.

Having said that, I have used robocopy to synchronize multi-GB
/directory structures. It's still not superfast over low-bandwidth
links since SMB is chatty but it's worth the peace of mind.

1. Use "svn update" cmd-line on a build machine to update a local
directory tree.
2. Use robocopy to synch the local directory tree with the UNC-path.
