  As was pointed out to me a while ago, this is a bad thing because the
repository has different data than the client for revision n as a result.
There is no current way for the repository to inform the client of updates
to the files at check-in. The best bet (and the solution I settled on) was
to have the client do the task, and then let the server check the results
and optionally abort if they are not correct. This solves the "client not
doing the right thing" problem.
