[UPHPU] automatic SVN management on one directory

[Wade Preston Shearer]

I am trying to figure out how best to build a scrip that automatically manages a directory's status in relation to a SVN repository. I have a team of marketing folk that create assets such as images, flash, and PDF documents and need to get them onto our production servers. Our current solution is web-based file upload that automatically copies the files out to the production servers. This is tedious though, especially when uploading multiple files and because we have a complex hierarchy without our assets directory. Thus, I want to give them access to a local server mount where they can simply drag and drop the files. I would have a cron job that would automatically come by each hour and pick up the files and move them to the production web servers. Here's the catch: I need the files put into our SVN repository. Having them each checkout a copy of the assets directory and use a GUI subversion client to manage it would be the easiest, but I am hoping that I can make it even easier for them… truly drag and drop. The best solution that I have come up with is to have two directories, one that they interact with and one that they don't. The the second would be a SVN checkout of the assets directory. I would then use rsync dry-run to compare changes between the two directories and then use the output to automatically run the add/delete and commit svn commands on the second.

Anyone have any better ideas?
