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?

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.
