Actually, this is exactly what I do in SVN::Notify::Mirror, available from CPAN:

        http://search.cpan.org/search?query=SVN::Notify::Mirror

It is really very easy to configure a post-commit script (using
SVN::Notify::Config, also on CPAN) so that all development happens on trunk,
with a test server kept in sync with all trunk commits. Then when a tag is
created that matches a preconfigured regex, a completely different production
server is updated (switched actually) to the latest tag.
