This change won't actually work the way you want it to.

Currently, I manually move a copy of IndexRegen.sh into position to  
actually run on my machine (as I don't particularly want anyone with  
commit access to be able to run arbitrary shell scripts on my machine  
(although it's probably a mute point as anyone with commit access  
could modify any of the base/ code that gets executed just as easily)).

SVN_BASE_URL isn't actually used by the script for much more than  
documentation, so changing it wont change where the checkout happens.

The script pulls from the latest release branch, and therefore  
doesn't need intervention unless/until major releases (when I would  
manually switch the repo to the later branch). Changing to a tag  
would require manual intervention on my part for every release.

In fact, I would rather we went in the opposite direction, where  
there was a 'current-release' branch that was used for the index regen.
