does that mean I cannot use forrest from my zone account to deploy the
official documentation? Only to the staging server?

Correct.


How is David doing this?

See our web deployment instructions in the etc folder.

We deploy to SVN, the live server then updates from there every four hours.

It would be possible to make the forrestbot deploy automatically to the svn server (in fact we use the forrestbot to do it manually).


Except for one thing. It needs to be a committer doing
the svn checkin, not a role-based account.

Ahhh... yes - I *always* forget that (not a problem in some environments, but it is a problem here at the ASF and I'm not at all sure how it could be solved here).

It is technically possible, but it means leaving a file with username and password with SVN commit access on the zone. Obviously, this is not a good idea from a security perspective.
