They have, each on their own PC, one of the PCs also acting as
SVN server for the repository.

It's the production webserver that is completely out of reach for
SVN and that we have to get stuff synched onto via FTP.

We are not doing development, but web content (catalog of stock
items). That's kind of different workflow. And we do this just for
own needs. Although it is broken up into categories 2-3 levels
deep they all are more or less loosely bound to each other.
Usually there is nothing I would work on for a week or even a day
either, and usually there happens to be a cross-link necessary
here and there. We would spend our days checking out & in and
making tons of notes for links to be set after the next checkout of
this or that category. :)

I'll see if rsync will bring us forth anyhow.
