I think you just described the cached_repository strategy. :) It does
a complete checkout of the source code once on each server, in the
shared directory. Then, subsequent deploys just do an update on each
server's cached copy ("svn up", or whatever the SCM of choice
supports), and then copy the cached copy to the release directory.
Or are you referring to something like having an initial checkout as
the first release, and subsequent deploys copying the previous
release and doing an SCM sync on it? That might make an interesting
strategy, too.

Please do!
