You'd have to keep a checked out working copy of the repos. This can get very bulky, *VERY* fast, if you have a lot of releases or autobuild branches, but it's an effective way to keep the code legible. It can be updated as part of a "post-commit" procedure on the server, but it can be slow, so I'd actually recommend a cron job, and there's always a chance it might be in the process of updating when you look at it. But it's often very effective for providing a place to review the basic source tree. > As a set of directories / files that I could look at that are always 'head' > and are read-only and are kept up to date.
