New idea to me ('course everything connected with versioning is
absolutely new, virginal land to me!). The command would then be
something like
svn update ftp://myserver.com
and could be put into a batch file opening an FTP session, logging
on, issuing the above update command and then logging off and
closing the FTP session (should get the exact commands from the
logfile of WinComm)? Only the first time a complete checkout
would be necessary, wouldn't it?
