Wow, you've completely lost me.

I read about your 'pain', and the thought that immediately occurred to
me is: my gosh, why isn't the "live" web site also a working copy?
That would fix all your problems.

For example, http://www.red-bean.com/sussman is my home page, and it's
just an ordinary svn working copy. I make changes in my local working
copy, and when I commit, a post-commit script on the server
automatically runs 'svn up' on the live working copy. Instant publishing.

I don't see how that has anything to do with Kumaran's proposed
feature. The existence of .svn/ directories in a live working copy is
no big deal at all. Just add this to your httpd.conf:

# Disallow browsing of Subversion working copy administrative dirs.
<DirectoryMatch "^/.*/\.svn/">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</DirectoryMatch>
