For moving to production sites, I usually use an automated process in ANT or
using capistrano. Essentially though, all those systems do roughly the same
thing tho - they do an export of the code to a releases folder in your
repository, then they move those files via FTP/Copy/RSYNC to the production
server. Exporting a site removes all the svn files/folders (which could be
thousands depending on the size of your app), making it a nice clean move.
Adding it to a releases folder within the site's repository makes it very
very easy to roll back to a previous revision should all hell break loose in
production.
Your repo should/could look like this:
[sitename]
-- branches (this is used for changes to the site that may be drastic that
you'd want to keep on a separate track from your trunk)
-- tags
--- releases
---- 06_09_2010.1 (this is an example of how we tag our releases)
---- 06_03_2010.1
---- 06_03_2010.2 (say that there were two releases that day, you'd
label it sequentially)
-- trunk (this is where you would have your main working code; where you
would normally check out from)
Kind of a "best practices" for SVN repo setups. Hoep that helps and doesn't
cause even more confusion for you...
