This is as expected and does not break anything.

By default, the update script uses the https URL from the SVN 
repository. The SVN server does not expand the Id or other keywords. 
This is normally done by the SVN client which is not involved here.

If you want the Id, download from sourceforge code browser:

update-smart-driveb -u sf

or use original URL but with SVN client (if installed) as download tool:

update-smart-driveb -t svn

Add -v option to see what happens.
