Er... yes... I seem to have forgotten that part. Either use svn
export on the working copy first, then rsync the export, or just
exclude the .svn directories when rsyncing the working copy. The
latter is probably quicker, because you don't have to wait for the
export, and apparently easy, as shown above.

And if you have the repository on your workstation, then you do not
have the repository and the web server on the same machine, hence
we're back to the first scenario and you can follow the above
recommendations.
