Hi all - I was wondering if any Cake developers out there have any good
suggestions on how to deploy a Cake-based web app.  Here's the
development scenario:
 - multiple developers developing on their local machines
 - all files in a subversion repository
 - the app needs to be deployed to a client's hosted web server

Simply FTPing the local copy of the subversion repository to the
production server gets to be a pain.  Most hosted web servers don't
have a subversion client so we can't simply keep a working copy on the
production server.

Ideally, a deployment system (for our uses anyway) would have the
following capabilities:
 - sync the remote copy with the local copy (add/modify/delete files as
necessary)
 - only perform adds/modifies/deletes (don't simply copy all local
files to remote server)
 - ignore certain directories on the local machine (like .svn folders)
 - specify alternate versions of certain files to put on the remote
machine (like a different database.php file for local and remote
machines, files with different web services API keys for
http://localhost and http://www.site.com, specialized .htaccess files
for remote machine, etc)
 - specify permissions for certain files/folders on the remote machine
(make app/tmp writable recursively)
 - would also be nice to sync the remote database with the local one

What tools are other Cake developers using to handle deployment to a
production server?
