I think the original request was for a way to easily update files
on a remote server that doesn't have an svn client installed.

Or, rephrased, I think that Pico is looking for a way to do
the equivalent of "svn update" on a system that doesn't have
svn installed.  

The svn server here is the one on pmwiki.org, and clearly
we're not doing commit hooks there.  :-)

Thanks,

Pm
