Same here, not as nicely automated though (still need to actually type 'svn update').

What I really like is the ability to instantly roll back to any version.

Don't forget to block .svn directories in your apache config!

The other advantage is sometimes, in emergency situations, I've had to edit the production code directly on the server. It's nice to be able to see what's changed, commit if necessary, or rollback to the original production version.

umm, isn't that what svn export is for :)

why stop at .svn, how about .~, .bak, .tmp, .swp !

The problem with export is that you're deploying every single file. With svn update, you're only deploying the changed files.
