Well, the smart-update puts a placeholder in the header (where normally
the revision number would be). In the post-commit hook, a script then
checks out the files that were changed in the commit that triggered the
run of the hook. It replaces the placeholder by the actual revision
number (which is known at this time in the commit process), and creates
a new commit of the same files.
The actual code might be somewhat clearer than my explanation, so
I've put the actual postcommit script at

Hope this makes things a bit clearer.
Bas.
