Depending on where you check out your working copy on the server, your version of Subversion, and your web server configuration, it's possible users could access all the files in the working copy's pristine area, thus possibly being able to read your code and/or gain access to any passwords or other confidential information contained therein. So I recommend you configure your web server to deny access to any URL containing "/.svn". For Apache 2, I have the following line in my httpd.conf to accomplish this goal: RedirectMatch 404 .*/\.svn(/|$) If you use a different web server you'll have to consult its documentation to learn how to do that kind of thing. For automated deployments generally, I've often recommended SVN::Notify::Mirror. I don't know if it will help in your situations specifically. http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?SVN::Notify::Mirror
