Using Subversion to update to WordPress 2.3.2

If you've logged in to your WordPress blog to find "Please update now!" messages, and you normally use Subversion to upgrade WordPress, this post is for you. Here's the command you need:

svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.3.2

The normal svn up didn't work this time. The update takes about 5 seconds, and everything seems to be working fine. Remember to back up your data before you upgrade; safety first! If you aren't using Subversion to keep your WordPress blog up to date, you should. It makes life so ridiculously easy.

Thanks, ulyssesonline, for the right command.
