If your app is not super enormous, then svn update or ftp to a new directory. When it’s finished, rename the old directory and rename the new directory.
Or, simply have a symbolic link, and change it to the new directory.
If you have to roll back, change it back, if not, delete the old copy when you update again.
If you have a huge app, you can do the same thing, but have two copies, and use RSYNC to copy to the new tree.
