I should have mentioned that the live server is not where the
repository is. Design happens on workstations, are updated to a
repository on a development
server, and the live server will get fully tested and approved revisions. My
understanding is that svn can't update a directory on another server (in this
case, on a completely different network). Since there doesn't appear to be a
full web client, I will probably go the script route like you mention.

Yes, I admit it seems kind of odd, but it also seems like the safest way to be
sure that all files get updated with the latest copy. The user's dev work has
been kind of haphazzard up to this point, and I am trying to get them under a
bit of project management *and* simplify things. The idea is for them to do
their work locally, commit changes to the dev server where it's tested (simple
with Tortoise), and then the live server updated from trunk once it's
approved.
It really eliminates the problem of tracking which files have changed
since the
last update and missing things like style sheets, which has become a
problem. I
would have to get it started with an initial checkout, but from then on
it would
be just an svn update to get the latest approved revision.
