I started using subversion for one of my projects and it would be absolutely amazing if I could just export the latest version from the repository on my production server by for example running a php or perl script.

The production site is hosted with a shared hosting provider who doesn’t allow shell access or for example the php exec() function. (I don’t know much about perl; I only know that my hoster allows perl and custom cgi scripts).

Is it possible to perform a SVN export in this environment?

  1. As far as I know there is no SVN client fully written in PHP or Perl. SO without exec you’re out of luck.

    Workarounds:

    • Depending on your own OS and what methods you have to access your web space you might be able to mount the web space in your local file system and just use your system’s SVN client for checking out/updating.
    • Again depending on your access methods (I’m guessing ftp or sftp) you might update a local checkout and sync any changes up onto the web space.
