You can easily set up a "post-commit" script in the hooks directory of your repository to automatically 'update' the dev version of your site whenever anyone does a check-in. This makes it possible to have a collaborator working on the site and able to generate the dev version, without giving them shell-access to the server where the dev site is hosted. I've then gone further and made a page that's visible only in the (password protected) dev site to do a check-out to the main site. Great guide. Thanks. --Dave Hey, I just set up a couple of sites to use svn, and thought I’d share a tip.
