When we upgraded to git, we didn't fully change over the way the website and examples are built. The cron job that runs the update script only built the website & examples if the revision returned by the svn interface to the GitHub repo was different than the previously stored revision. At some point, using `svn info` on the repo stopped being reliable. For example, this is what I get when running this today (in 2012):
svn info https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/
Path: openlayers
URL: https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers
Repository Root: https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers
Repository UUID: d631b94f-4ba7-6298-eb8f-ce57b7db7bff
Revision: 5488
Node Kind: directory

(Last change looks like it was 6 years ago.)
We should be using a proper clone of the git repo and building the website and examples out of this. Until then, we can at least use `git-ls-remote` to check what the latest HEAD from the canonical repo looks like. This should get the website and examples building again (they stopped being updated a few weeks ago).
* Check whether the reision has changed
* if it has:
* rebuild the examples.js
* Rebuild the singlefile, copy it
* Change all the examples to use the singlefile
* Record the most recent rev
