These are RTFM issues. The SVN server manages a database. The files
in that database are NOT meant for human mucking.

You _can_ check them out (or export them) on the server, and then tar
up the output.
svn co svn://server/repo/trunk outdir
OR
svn export svn://server/repo/trunk outdir
Where
server = your server machine
repo = name of you repository
outdir = directory (which will be created) for output files
(You may need to supply a user name if the account you use on the
server is not a valid subversion user: --user username)
NOTE: The export command does NOT create the .svn subdirectories (so
it's not really a working copy).
Another option: cd into the apache htdocs tree where the deployed
version lives, and check out and in-place copy
cd /var/apache/httpd/web/path/to/my/app
svn co svn://server/repo/trunk . # NOTICE the . at the end
Now, you can just do an update in the working copy on the server.
NOTE: You need to look into this before doing it: make sure your trunk
is always stable, disable the .svn directories from apache access,
etc...
