The grokproject SVN URL clearly states the fact that this will yield a 
development version, using the "#egg=grokproject-dev" URL marker. 
easy_install will not take such a dev egg unless explicitly told so. In 
fact, when I easy_install -U grokproject on my machine, I don't get 0.7dev.

Here's what I *think* *might* have happened: Let's say you have a trunk 
checkout of grokproject and let's say the checkout directory is 
$DIR/grokproject. Your current working dir happens to be $DIR. When you 
now do easy_install grokproject (with or without -U), easy_install will 
actually see the ./grokproject checkout. Judging by the setup.py inside 
it, it'll think it's an egg and install it (as in setup.py develop). 
Since it's a grokproject trunk checkout, you end up with a 0.7dev egg of 
grokproject.

This happened to me a couple of times, until I figured out why it would 
install an unreleased version of something. So be careful where you 
execute easy_install...
