Actually, I thought of that, but this wouldn't allow us to make changes to
the live site that we could commit back to the repo and ultimately update
our working copies with.

The closest we came to actually using a working copy as the live site was
forcing us to log into the unix server the files were ultimately stored on,
sudo-ing to the group account they were saved as, and running svn up/ci as
that group account user. It was a huge slowdown though, and still had some
permission problems, so we're not doing that anymore.

Agreed, but for smallish, low impact, dynamic web projects it happens, and
dealing with it is aggravating :/

Cheers,
Jon.
