Actually, Walter...  I was just thinking... :)  If you set up your
development box with Apache + DAV + SVN, and set up your repositories and
per-directory access control correctly, you could make updates of client
sites as painless as grabbing the latest snapshot of a product, and include
a script in the snapshot to update any tables/indexes/whatever that need
updating.

IOW, you could use SVN not just for version control, but as a distribution
channel for customers.

Just a thought...
