It's ace! 2 points I'd like to make: 1. I'd be very wary of using an auto deployment script that is triggered upon check in unless the deployment was only to test system. I think that deployment to a production env should have at least one step that requires human intervention - at the very least you have someone to blame if the shit hits the fan.** 2. CVS has wrapper/hook scripts that can also do tasks like this - although I gather that SVN's implementation is friendly & more manageable. > > If you are using an interal Wiki, Ticket system I can thoroughly > recommend Trac for this.

I kid you not! now you too can say with confidence, 'I feel like eating some bear shit' :->
