There is a git repository at freedesktop.org, and a git checkout of
that repository on the update-Server.

When a new update should be made active, the corresponding change is
pushed to the repository, and then one does a git pull on the
update-server.

The version info is added manually - it is one line per version.

That's definitely not the plan, if the RC is an officially released
one, and not some daily/self-built copy...

Can you tell what version those report as? I.e. what git-hash they have?

See Robinson's answer - it should work. Maybe you have a proxy that
did cache the request?
