I'm using subversion, and I have been checking out a working copy to the production server. This is especially helpful since some developers still deploy without using subversion while we are switching to it, and it lets me keep the repository updated. But the great thing about it is I can do very quick updates... ie when I'm ready to deploy something, I put it into the repository from the dev server, and then just do an update on the production server.
Of course it would be nice to be able to check in the dev code even when it's not ready to be deployed, but I haven't figured out a way to do that quite yet...

CVS has an export function, but the darn thing will not overwrite files. I just forced my team into CVS use and I'm having them use tags for each release. I'm thinking of using ANT to 1) perform a CVS export of module mymodule to mymodule_new folder 2) delete mymodule folder 3) rename mymodule_new folder to mymodule Any other possible approaches? I don't really want to 'checkout' the code to the production environment either.
