Sure, that's a fine technique. I keep my own website in a subversion
repository, and my actual 'live' website (~sussman/public_html/) is just
a regular working copy. I have a post-commit hook which updates the
working copy.

A word of warning, though: many unixes won't let you 'chmod +s' a shell
script, which is necessary if I want the post-commit hook script to run
as user 'sussman'. So instead, my post-commit hook is a tiny C program
with +s :

#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
  system("/usr/local/bin/svn update /home/sussman/public_html");
}
