Ok, so this was a bug exactly where I suspected...

Our update server maps/mapped version numbers to specific branch names, and we had basically the following:

2.1* => comm-2.0

I changed that to have multiple maps, 

2.1a*
2.1b*
2.1p*   (for pre)
2.1.*

While that does miss the '2.1' I can fix that if we determine its a problem... I didn't think it worth testing that case for the defunct 2.1 branch....

I did test that this updated an older trunk nightly to the newest, so calling this fixed

Thank you again for reporting it
