From: "Daevid Vincent" on
Semi-off-topic, but I'm pretty sure you all are faced with this same
challenge, I figured it's worth a shot and maybe some flaming.

I'm looking for a script (bash or php) that I would run on my production
web server that would do this or close to it:

1. do a CVS/SVN checkout to a new timestamped directory
2. change the symlink from the old directory
3. change permissions to www-data:www-data on new directory
4. and possibly tarball up the old directory.

I'm assuming this is a fairly common task, and I actually wrote one of
these at my previous job, but I can't find the script anymore. I remember
it's not quite as trivial as it sounds and took a few hours to perfect, so
I thought I'd try to save myself some time. :)

I have some other useful SVN scripts here if anyone is interested:
