a) if you're following best practices, you have a trunk and branches
and tags. So you'd always have to type "/trunk" into the URL to see
the web site. Fine for development but a bit ugly otherwise.

b) it only works if you have exclusively static files. As soon as you
have any SSI or PHP or ASP or JSP or anything else dynamic, it can't
work, and you need to do it the way described earlier in the thread,
with the working copy that gets updated.
