I do it daily. Sometimes more often.

No need for a batched svn pull script, there is quite a good one on the
mono section of my website (http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/mono-
building.html) - just alter to suit.

Given the tarballs are generated daily and SVN is updated roughly hourly
(IIRC), it depend really on how bleeding edge you want to be.
