You still didn't say what you mean by "deploy". If you just mean that  
you want to get the files from Subversion to those servers, then  
there are many options available. You could svn checkout or svn  
export your code to a local machine and then ftp or scp or rsync them  
to the remote development or production server. If your development  
and production servers have the svn client installed, and if your  
repository is accessible to those servers over the network, and if  
you have shell or screen sharing access to them, then it can be even  
easier: connect to the server via ssh or vnc or whatever method you  
have, and just run "svn checkout your://repository/url" to get a copy  
of the code, and then "svn update" it when necessary.

Assuming you have one of the above available to you, then you could  
automate it further. For example, you could declare that when you  
make a tag in your repository whose name follows a certain format,  
then that tag should be automatically deployed to some server. In  
this way, deploying to a particular server becomes as easy as  
creating a tag in the repository. There is a post-commit hook script  
which has been mentioned on this list many times to make that easy,  
though I forget its name at the moment.... Maybe someone else will  
remember what I'm talking about and post it again.


P.S: Use Reply All so your reply goes to the list too, not just to me.

Note that the rsync '-C' option is a shorthand notation to exclude 
metatdata and it knows about svn as well as cvs - but look at the man 
page to see the full exclude list.  Rsync is also particularly nice for 
copying to production because it copies to a tmp file name and only 
renames to the original when the transfer is complete so the running app 
  never sees an incomplete file.
