Well, you *could* switch to using git, which has a much better "push to
an active repository that actually has working files in it" model, one
which also supports the synchronization of tags among multiple, slightly
distinct repositories.
But rsync can be set up in a reasonably secure fashion with SSH keys and
a 'validate-rsync' script, along with careful thought about file system
ownership. And depending on your website requiresments, it might be
feasible to make the website itself a Subversion repository, with
'write' access on a secrured channel or even a distinct URL. I've
actually done that, and used to use 'Amaya' for WebDAV access to
manipulate it. I had to be careful with PHP scripts to access them over
a WebDAV enabled channel that didn't try to interpret those as CGI
scripts for me, but it worked reasonably well.
