I made the script available at:

http://stadtherr.bounceme.net/files/install.csh 

Usage is simple.  Place the install.csh at the top level of your roundcubemail working copy directory, and run:
# install.csh <destination>

For example, on my webserver I run:

# install.csh /Library/WebServer/SecureDocuments/roundcubemail

Voilà!

It will happily copy on top of an existing installation, but it won't remove any files in the destination that aren't in the working copy (i.e. it doesn't do a "sync" just a "copy over").

Phil,

You probably don't want to have your SVN working copy in your
web space.� It forces your webserver to deal with the subversion
files in the .svn directories, and potentially opens you up to
breaking your live server when playing around with something.� I keep
my working copy in a development location (~/dev/roundcube), and I can
do updates, merges, etc. from there.� When I want to deploy my working
copy, I wrote a little script that copies everything over to the web
space (/Library/WebServer/Documents/roundcube) while excluding the
.svn directories, backup files, temporary files, etc., and then sets
the permissions to the www user.� Anyone care to see the script?

Yes, please; I've made changes to my script thanks to Jon's comments, and I'd like to see how you've done it.  I agree that having the .svn files in the webroot is a bad idea too.  Hmmm, this is fun though!

So sure, it would remove the need to press 'p' on the
first SVN run,
since it wouldn't be using https, but I was going by the RC
Wiki page:
  No.  It uses the same URL as the first run (and you still have to
do a 'svn checkout' once), but since you already checked it
out once, it
doesn't have to get every file, but instead just the stuff that
has
changed since your last update.

Any reason to use the https way vs a basic svn up?
  Hopefully this isn't an insult, but have you used subversion
before?  I don't understand the question.

no, not insulted at all.  I've used CVS for years, and I've
used SVN from my
days with Hula a year or so back, but yeah, looking at my script for
that it
just did a 'svn up' to get the latest code before the build. 
I guess what I
did was looked up the 'dev' way to do it, (wiki link) then
did it that way, saw
that it put it in ./trunk/roundcubemail and I knew I didn't want
${WEB_ROOT}/trunk/roundcubemail - I wanted ${WEB_ROOT}/roundcubemail
and that's
why I have the full checkout each time and the mv commands. 
That's really kinda
dumb though no reason in taxing the server for all the files each
time, lemme
read up on svn, maybe you can set a target dir to put the files for
checkout/update?

Thanks for the feedback, I've never written a script and left it
alone for
long.
