What is the reason for doing that?

For any projects that i have worked on, we have
remained with storing the generated docs in SVN.
It seems more efficient.

Also that is what infra wanted. It makes it possible
to restore a site easily. The people at [email protected]
are trying to work out better ways of publishing sites,
but not happened yet.

There are a couple of problems with doing stuff via scp.
One is that it uploads every doc, even if not changed.
Also it is harder to revert a change if we stuff up.

Even though i don't agree with using SCP, i am not
going to suggest changing it. What you have done does
work okay and xml-site is a small site and is not
receiving lots of changes.

Still, i am interested to know why you think SCP
is better.
