[nflug] Apache + SVN

[Erek Dyskant]

You want to use subversion hooks, which are scripts that svnserve runs
whenever a specific action gets made to a repository.  In my case, I
have a hook that automatically checks commits out to my development
server.   To push an update live I tag the final version and do a
manual svn export on the production server.

Here's an example of one of my post-commit scripts (some details have
been changed to avoid leaking internal information).  It runs on the
subversion server and sshes into the development server, running a
command to check the repository out to the proper location.

As a sidenote, put some thought into whether to use svn checkouts or
svn exports.  In my case I used svn co, because I want to have the
option to make live changes to the development server and check them
back into the repository.  If you know that you won't do that, use
export, as it avoids all the annoying .svn directories in your source.
  If you do use co, make sure that you configure apache not to allow
requests to .svn, or you could end up leaking our sourcecode.

Cheers,
Erek
