That would be a post-commit script. ;-)

Depending on your needs (single update, multiple updates, local vs
remote sites), you may want something more capable than a home-brewed
script. You might want to consider a module I wrote, SVN::Notify::Mirror:

http://search.cpan.org/search?query=SVN%3A%3ANotify%3A%3AMirror

which makes it very easy to keep multiple working copies in sync with
changes to the repository. It includes the ability to keep multiple web
sites up to date on multiple servers, for example.

For example, we have a little more than a dozen active web sites, each
with their own trunk development (mirrored to the test server) and each
with their own production server. All updates are performed in the most
efficient way (i.e. a commit deep in a tree will only update those
files). The production server is automatically updated to the latest
tag for that site; no manual interaction with the web server is required.
