I think you need to read up on command line tools and shells. What that
says is to take the svn executable from the directory C:\builds\repos\,
and use it to update the current directory (whatever that is).

You might want

svn up c:\builds\repos

but the name makes me really suspicious: is that a working copy, or the
repository itself? You don't update the repository, you update working
copies.

svn revert

is a destructive command, which should probably never be used in an
automated build. It might make sense to use svn checkout in an
automated build, but usually you'd just use svn update.

So I really have no idea what you're attempting to do.
