Your case is where you need to run svn on some other computer then upload it to server with the blog. Correct?

svn export –force http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.1.1/ wp_blog

Interesting - had never heard of sitecopy. My cPanel server doesn't have that command, so unfortunately, these instructions would require getting the assistance of a sysadmin to install an uncommon binary for users. Regardless, you might want to flesh it out and add it to the Codex (so others can help refine it), rather than just posting it on your blog. Thanks Carlo. Interesting - had never heard of sitecopy.

After its initialization, its common usage is sitecopy -u label_name_of_your_website which makes your website a copy of your local folder (copying only the changed files).

The main idea is to: 1 - get a stable version of Wordpress (with svn co...) 2 - wp_blog is a folder with your external and previous Wordpress version's files (.htaccess, wp-config.php, plugins etc...) 3 - use svn export --force to get the new stable version of Wordpress being copied to wp_blog (or to a copy of that folder). svn export without --force won't export to a not empty folder 4 - export wp_blog with sitecopy. sitecopy is a wonderful command-line tool to keep in sync a folder with a remote website (see http://www.lyra.org/sitecopy/ it supports many protocols).

Your tip here is interesting. Could you possibly flesh it out with a bit more information? What is the -export flag for and how is it operating in this example? What is "sitecopy" and how it being used here? Thanks, Scot I’m the author of the Codex article on using svn. Your tip here is interesting.
