So I'm a bit curious and perhaps I'm missing the point here (probably am) but why go through all this hassle? Why not just do a straight FTP of the files from the staging machine to the deployment machine? Does using checkin/check out benefit us in some way besides the original file integrity and management?

As you said, have a subversion client installed on the server running your web host. If your doc root is /var/www/html, have html be a symlink to current code. /var/www/html -> /var/www/tag_XXXX and you can also svn export to an nfs share, and then rsync from there to multiple machines if you want. the rsync and any other tasks can be done by a deploy script. using that tag method you can also automate changelog through svn log. you'd have to have the tag revision numbers. The build script checks out the new tag to the doc root in directory /var/www/tag_newtagname. The last thing the build script does is switch the html symlink from the old tag to the new tag to make the deployment live.

One issue that we are trying to get a handle on is a good way to get our PHP applications from a development/staging environment to a production server. The production servers are accessible via ssh/ftp/etc. One quick thought would be to install a subversion client on the server and have that export the application to a spot where a build script could then set it up. However, is there a "best-practices" way of doing this?
