Why not do what most of us do? Keep the working copy on the web
server, and make it the "live" tree served to the world. Just 'svn
update' the live copy from time to time, rather than "reuploading" a
whole new tree to the server.
In fact, I even have a post-commit hook in my repository which
automatically updates my live working copy.
