Convenience sure makes me want to use this approach. And you could even
update the production "working copy" to a specific branch or tag, not just
the main trunk. But...it's still an update and conflicts would be a bear to
deal with in a production environment. Although there shouldn't be any
conflicts if the prod. Working copy isn't touched.
