You can also use rsync with the -C (or --cvs-exclude) option to copy
from a staging workspace to the production destination(s). This
originally was intended for cvs metadata but also skips .svn/ contents.
  Rsync has the advantages of using less bandwidth for remote copies and
copying in under a temporary name and renaming to the original when the
transfer is complete so the running application does not see partial files.
