As Ryan points out, this was a change in 1.4.40. Clearly whoever made  
the change did not anticipate the problem you're having with it. We'd  
love to hear your suggestions for what the proper behavior should be  
in this case. What if the behavior was:

	- Update the first sources.conf directory found that either (1) is  
an rsync url, or (2) is a valid svn repository.

Would that rule fix things for you?
