Thank you all, Chris Bob, Andrew, Ben.
Bob, the Server I am taking about here is our development, not
production server so it will be fine.
Chris, Andrew, and Ben thank you for given me 3 solutions to explore.
I think I am going to give Subversion try, only thing I am not too keen
about is the command line interface. Our developers here would
prefer a GUI client, any good ones you can suggest?

If you want to do this type of thing I'd recommend looking at svnwcsub and
the
svn pubsub setup. It has the advantage of allowing this without requiring
the
repository server have access to the machines you are updating. Since the
server simply provides a mechanism for the client machines to subscribe
and
watch for updates. This was introduced along with 1.8.0.
Many ASF websites including Subversion's are stored in SVN and
automatically
updated using this technique.
There is a very basic install instructions here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.8.x/tools/server-side/svnpubsub/README.txt
Note that this same directory is tools/server-side/svnpubsub in the
tarball.
