Then you got lucky (just like people can get lucky for a long time by compiling svn trunk with previous svn trunk compilers instead of starting with the latest release). Your checkout will however probably contain a lot of outdated compiled units and directories that have been removed from svn (but which weren't deleted in your local copy because they still contained "units" directories).

That doesn't matter.
