It can be summed up in one word: trust.
Trust your people to follow the rules. You can set up the system so that
the testing team cannot change the repository, but only check out. Once
you've done that, does it really matter if they use "export" or "checkout"?
Actually, I would think you'd /want/ them to use checkout - that way you
can verify exactly which version they've checked out. If the testers end
up with version x.y.3 but they're supposed to be testing x.y.4, you have
to do a lot more digging to figure out whether the tester exported the
wrong version, or whether the developers forgot to increment the build
number.
