You can use the same buildout directory (stored and tagged in svn) for
development and deployment.  Like Raphael said, you can use one cfg
file for each situation.  This is how we do it at Zest Software:

You can make the two different cfg files look as much alike as you can
so they are easy to compare.  See:

BTW, those two weblog entries are from my brother Reinout, not from
me. :-)
