Updating Site with SVN

Prior to moving to SVN for the xml-site module I had a cron job running 
that regularly updated the web site from the contents of the xml-site 
repo.  I've just updated this (i.e. converted to SVN) for the security 
portion of the web site and realised that the similar change has not 
been made for the main portion.

Before I go an unilaterally fix this - does anyone object?  Is there a 
new way we have been doing it that works better?

Cheers,
