There us is always a risk of a race condition no matter how you
trigger the update. Using a
post-commit hook, you can more easily restrict the triggering to only
when files shown on the
web site are committed. (The post-commit hook gets a list of the files
just committed.) Also,
a post-commit hook will only run when a commit is done, while a script
that uses svn info
would have to be run periodically.
