As Ævar says, what that gets is not, in a strict technical sense, what 
the servers are currently running (any more than an svn checkout was) 
but it is certainly very close to what they are running and any 
difference is only because certain things may not quite have been 
deployed yet.

What that will certainly get you is the code that is intended to run on 
the live servers.
