A typical setup that you would use for something like this would be to
have 2 completely different environments, production and development.
The development area would have it's own web server and working copy on
it. The dev web server would allow the development directory to be
accessable via the web. You check out your working copy from the
repository, then make all your changes to those files, but don't commit
each little change. Then, when you're satisfied with all the changes
you've made, you commit them to the repos. After that commit, you
update the version that's on the production server. Sometimes those
changes will be small (spelling errors maybe), and other times big.
Svn is a tool that gives you many more abilities, but it doesn't come
for free. You'll need to put forth a little more effort to use it.
After you do it a few times, you won't really notice it though. In the
end, it's well worth it.
