Re: web development revisited

I had not heard of continuous integration before, thanx for the link.
So cruseControl will look for changes in my svn repository and update
the website automatically, and I would use this in place of the post-
commit hooks for the development and special project branches? Or are
you suggesting I use cruseControl to deploy to the staging and live
sites also?

Rob, that sounds logical, I havent looked into tagging very
extensively yet, I will do this now.
