I’m currently working with partner on a PHP project.

We both edit directly to a local server (all files are stored on the server, which is also running a WAMP stack).
I’m looking for an SVN client that will monitor and save all changes to the htdocs folder, and will update a remote SVN repository, through the web.

It would be a great bonus if I could manipulate the SVN client through a web-interface.

For example, say I save file1.php to the server. It would update file1.php on the svn website.
If I would suddenly discover that my latest revisions to the file are bad, I could head over to the server (or use some web interface from my computer), and replace file1.php with an older revision.

I don’t want to just install an SVN server on our local machine because I would always like to have a copy saved remotely with the latest changes.

Any recommendations?

    I do not know of any software to do this. It would probably not be hard to script this using the standard command line svn client. I.e. have a batch/shell script that runs regularly and checks in everything that has changed.

    That said, I would very strongly advise against doing this!

    The normal working model of source control is that everyone has a local copy to work in, then checks in their changes to a central repository.

    The explicit manual checkin makes sure you only check in stuff that works (generally) and lets you give valuable checkin comments.

    Then the server can be updated with a known good version from the source control repository.

    It sounds like you are working on a production system. I’d strongly advise considering using a dev environment(s) and the above approach.
