G'day JC,
There is no "entrenched thinking" going on. Subversion is not
designed to deploy files to web server docroots - it's designed to
handle revision control of files and directories. Sometimes those
files and directories might correspond to a static HTML website that
ends up in a web server docroot, but Subversion is by no means limited
to such a narrow use case.
And FWIW I've implemented similar workflows to the one you describe,
however for the deployment steps I've always used some other, more
appropriate technology, such as:
* WebDAV
* FTP / SFTP
* rsync
* SAMBA
* NFS
It's really about selecing the right tool for the job, and while I'd
be the first to trumpet the virtues of Subversion for source control,
I wouldn't dream of suggesting its use as a deployment tool
(particularly for web server docroots, where so many other, more
appropriate technologies are available!).
Cheers,
Peter
