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.

** 'shit hits the fan' reminds me of something I saw in a LIDL supermarket -
they had a ripoff version of 'PomBaer' crisps (potato chips) which was called
'Bears Hit' ... I kid you not! now you too can say with confidence, 'I feel
like eating some bear shit' :->
