Hi Cliff, 

I would never release a production site as a working directory;  I only
agree that version control is important for serious projects.  I do
check out my dev sites as working directories, and typically set up cvs
to trigger an update of the dev site for every commit

for moving to testing & production, I use shell scripts which operate on
specifically tagged versions & perform an export, like you describe
