While you are correct is is not usually a problem, that assumes that I do 
not check in any changes. If I check in X and someone checks in something 
(Y) that should not go into the release, and then I check Z for the 
release, I then have to deal with getting Y out. Not a big deal, but I 
really want to make this simple.

I don't really think 15 minutes of people not checking into SVN is that 
big of a deal. I don't even do anything on the server side, I just ask 
people to be kind.
