I'm new to SVN and want to use it on my websites. I have a local MAMP setup where i normally start most of my websites, and later upload them to my LAMP server (hosted with mediatemple). How do I go about implementing SVN on a live server. Most of the articles i read have you create the svn repo in the ~ and not the actual www directory. I was looking to just make changes to files locally and have them commit to the www directory so they are live once I make the changes as oppose to submitting them to ~ and moving them from there to the www directory. Is this bad practice to go directly to the www directory? If this is actually the way I should be using SVN as a web developer how do I go about setting it up so people cant view my repo, but my actual site? Not sure if it matters but i have ssh access to the site, but would like to use SCToolBarButton for mac.
