Question

Is it possible that i could upload my changes from the svn repository directly to my production server(2nd copy containing all the data as origional copy but for testing purposes)?

I mean is there a way i could do it without EXPORT-> Then manually copy paste to production server…

If yes, how can i do that?

any pitfalls?

Thanks

One option (if you don’t want to have the .svn subdirectories in your production site) is to do checkout to a different area on the disk, then update that periodically, and then rsync that across to the production site using a command such as

rsync -a --exclude='*/.svn/*' checkout_dir site_dir

The svn update and rsync commands will run very quickly compared to doing a full svn export every time.
