I just spotted this interesting article on How to Upgrade your WordPress installation using Subversion . The article talks about how first timers can start using Subversion to download the latest version of WordPress, how you can switch your existing blog to start using Subversion for updates, how you can download the bleeding edge versions, the stable versions and even older versions.
Really useful article. I have been using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin for my updates till now, but I might give this one a try once I get some free time.
