Subversion deployment workflow for webdevelopment

Question

Im still learning the basics of subversion but since the beginning i had a goal to achieve with this cvs: automating the site deployment process.

Is there any solution to automate the process of site updates to the webserver?

Thanks!

If you checkout the code to the server you can create a post-commit hook that automatically updates that working copy when a commit is made. This is probably only useful if you have a separate branch just for deployment, that you merge into the code that is ready for deployment.
