Could someone explain something to me about CTest's conventions?

I'm reading throught this page:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CTest:Using_CTEST_and_CDASH_without_CMAKE

It sounds like the variable "CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND" is meant to contain the 
ensure checkout command, including all arguments.

However, the "CTEST_UPDATE_COMMAND" is simply set to (for example) "svn".  So 
if ctest is going to use this variable, it must be planning on supplying its 
own command-line arguments, such as "update" and (optionally) the path of the 
source code to be updated.

So here's my question: Is there supposed to be a naming convention in CTest 
such that "..._COMMAND" is a complete command with all arguments?  Or the basic 
program name without any arguments?  Or is this just something for which no 
pattern exists?

Thanks,
Chritian
