It checks the version in version.txt against that from a URL - both show 2008090400 at present here. This seems to be different from the "update" button in the Windows GUI tah.pl that runs an "svn up" command, and seems to find updates more frequently than does the automatic method (I think it's found at least two today, one seeming to include new icons for osmarender).

If the version timestamps (it's not a version number!) differ, the 
client runs a svn up themselves. This is so we can ensure a certain 
release (or newer) has been deployed everywhere.
so there is no harm in manually updating, and no harm in not manually 
updating, either.
