seeing as the manual [1] is only having you do an update, you could put the live site on a branch and development on the trunk [2] and when you are happy with the staging results merge the branch versions to the trunk (look in this email list's archive for a lot of tagging and planning you should do). If you do a normal checkout on the staging site and a checkout of the branch on the live site then the updates will keep them that way.
