Improved Subversion auto-checkout

Tags: , Filed under: Written in Englishhugo @ 1:53

My whole Web site is under Subversion, and any commit I make is automatically propagated online. I have been achieving this using Yann Dirson’s svn-auto-checkout script. However, as my site has grown, the complete update that the script runs has become painful, as it locks the online checked-out copy while it does the update.

I therefore plugged svnlook into the process, to update only the files and directories changed during a commit. See if it works for you: svn-auto-look-and-checkout.
