We've been using a process that works with CVS - don't suspect it would
be much different with Subversion.
Yes, we have a cron entry that's not in CVS. We've modified the run
time now and then, but otherwise it doesn't change:
00 04 * * 1-5 /my/up-test/admin/bin/update > /dev/null 2>&1
All scripts, etc. in admin/bin are in CVS. When we modify the update
script itself, the next run of the update will replace it and the run
_after_ will actually run the new code.
Cheers,
Jim
