How to copy files in an svn repo to another folder on the server

Question

Running a centos 6 server with svn repos stored on it. To deploy updates, I'd like to copy from the relevant directory within the svn repo to the appropriate /var/www website directory. Is there a simple way to do this?

Answer 1

Use the svn export command to do that. The subversion red book explains in detail how to do that.

When the relevant svn repo is stored under /export/svn/repo, and the part of the repository you want to copy from is /trunk/my_project/news, the whole command will be:

svn export file:///export/svn/repo/trunk/my_project/news /var/www/news
