The rsync server is updated 2-3 times a day, the "svn update" is meant  
to get any more recent changes.  I fixed that so it should fail anymore.

Yeah, this is annoying because builtbot sets the umask so that group  
and other get no permissions.  but to build a .deb package you need to  
have the files at least 0755 (user-rwx, group-rx, other-rx). I'm not  
quite sure how to handle it.  My guess is that it would make sense to  
set the umask on the buildbot builds to have group/other read/execute  
perms.  I think that's umask 022.

Sounds like git and svn are fighting ;-) Sounds like the buildbot is  
running git with the SVN revision number: "/usr/bin/git reset --hard  
14165".  I guess that happens when a new SVN checkin triggers a git  
build.  I think we need to remove the SVN tracking for a  
PBChangeSources style.
