The update instructions for Subversive are at:
http://www.eclipsecon.com/subversive/documentation/gettingSt arted/aboutSubversive/update_eclipse.php

Step 2 instructs you to select "Search for New Features to Install". If
this is an update, why are we searching for new features to install? Why
aren't we searching of updates of currently-installed features?

Chris, this is on purpose. The Eclipse update process has some limitations which I cannot explain to
you. Therefore, in some/most cases the "Search fro New Features..." is the way to go.

If I remember correctly, there are some changes to the update management planned for the next
release. But I do not know. If you do some research, you will probably find more information.

For the moment, I recommend you to just trust the instructions...

Cheers, Jörg

Hello Chris,

This is not an error. "Install new features" should be choosed because
Subversive builds distributed from Eclipse.org uses 0.7.0.x version
numbers instead of 1.1.x one, because projects in incubation phase must
use version numbers before 1.0.0. So, simple update from 1.1.x version to
0.7.0 is not possible because 1.1.x is greater than 0.7.0.x.
