Sean, using a working copy is a very convenient way to update a
production web site, and it's even recommended in the FAQ:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#website-auto-update
That entry also addresses Eric's concern about the .svn directories
-- you simply configure the web server to deny access to those. The
example provided is for Apache; for IIS you'll have to consult their
documentation.
For deploying to a different server, there are a number of options.
One good solution is to have the post-commit hook on the repository
machine connect to the production server via ssh and execute the
update command that way, e.g.:
ssh production.example.com svn update /path/to/working/copy
You can configure SSH so that no username or password is necessary to
log in, by using public/private keypairs on both machines.
