if you update to a given revision number, the whole tree will be updated
to this state, e.g. if you would have multiple changes in between they
would all be away. for subversion the revision number is unique for whole
repos, each commit increments it by one, e.g. multiple changes would
create multiple new revisions of WHOLE repos ;)

look at svn book for more details, nice description there, IMHO this is
one of the best points about svn
