This is called from the L<tl-update-tlnet> script, which is run nightly.
+To reiterate the above: this program works by comparing revision numbers
+in the tlpdb files, not the contents of files. Thus, if the content of
+some source file is changed (e.g., making changes to C<TeXLive/*.pm>),
+but the tlpdb revision number is not changed, this program will think
