I am working on my first ASP.NET MVC 4 app. The client is deploying directly from the SVN repo, which I am pushing from. Can/should I be checking in release builds, or should they be running builds on their end as part of the deploy process. I am wanting to make it as simple for them as possible. Thanks for any advice!

You shouldn’t be checking any builds into a source control repository. Only source code. A build server should be used to precompile the application using the target configuration (Release if you are pushing to production). Also be careful not to leave any production connection strings and urls into the source code you have commited. An innocent developer could checkout the code and do lots of damage without any consciousness.
