I have a large site w/ magento and wordpress. The only access I have to get files from my local environment to production server is via FTP. I’m struggling how to get wordpress updated and changes committed into my repository. When I run the automatic WP update from admin, entire directories are wiped out and re-created….I lose those .svn directories when this happens. If I update on the production server and pull changes down I’m not quite sure what files have been removed so I can get them deleted from my repository.
anyone have ideas how to handle this problem?
It is in the documentation : http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress (section “Manual update”)
if you want to preserve your .svn dirs, use svn del and svn add commands to replace files.
