If you use FSFS, you can rsync the whole repository. But I think you'd
do better to keep a "production" working copy on your test site, and
just rsync that to your production site. So your process would look like
this:

    * Check in changes to the production branch
    * A hook:
          o updates a local working copy of the production branch
          o rsync's this local copy to the production site
