I don't see why you couldn't add a local xml file which points to a local script and local dmg file to the list in the same manner as how the svn builds is added to the launcher list.
I'm gonna try to figure it out myself with a modified local script to backup my existing xbmc.app and userdata folders.

right, the backup and restore scripts mentioned already make a complete copy of both application data/XBMC and XBMC.app, and restore them both.
it does take a bit longer since that copies the entire tree including thumbnail cache, but it does make it an exact backup/restore.

First off, I want to commend you guys for doing all this work.. it is very complicated to me.
All I would like to do is update to the most recent SVN so I can run a newer skin.
I installed XBMC on my ATV via an installer put out by Patchstick.ca. But I can not figure out how to do a manual update as I do not have your 3.1 installer.
I am using a Windows machine and Filezilla to move my stuff back and forth to the ATV over the network.
I can download the most recent SVN and open the file to get to the .dmg file that is in it. I can then open the dmg and save the XBMC.app file to my Windows machine.
Now, what needs to be done with this file? Can I just copy it over the existing XBMC.app file on the ATV, or??
I do not know how to send all the commands you speak of, or run scripts on the ATV. Previously, the PAtchstick.ca took care of all the installing but is only setup to do the major release, not the SVNs.
Any input (or wait till the next 'official' release)...
Thanks
