When svn up does not work (WordPress subversion)

Today WordPress 2.3.3. was released as an urgent security update to the last version.
I wanted to update my install by making use of my subversion install:
so as usually I’d go on with opening PuTTy and logging into my server.
From sh I’d enter

svn up

This for some reason did not fetch all files and no real update was carried out. Any idea why? I have no guess.
So what I did was:

svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.3.3/

More to type, but luckily this does update everything. Still an annoyance that svn up did not work.
