Yes there is only one copy of an experiment data package in svn.
But the package gets built twice: for BioC release and for BioC devel.
Then, it gets propagated twice: to the release repos and to the devel
repos.

If you make a change in svn that breaks the package in release, then
the modified package won't propagate to the release repos. So everything
is fine. The package looks broken in release if you look at the build
report, but the build report is for the modified package, not for the
package that is actually in the release repos.

HTH,
