WordPress Subversion Checkout
I finally converted several of my blogs to use the WordPress Subversion Checkout. This means any future upgrades are directly taken from the WordPress Repository using the Subversion checkout command. Future upgrades are going to be fast, easy and convenient. No more downloading and FTPing of files. It takes just a simple command to upgrade WordPress to the latest version. I’m upgrading to WordPress version 2.3.1 here as an example.
I can also upgrade to the latest “bleeding edge” development version by getting the source directly from the trunk, but I’m not that adventurous. I rather run a stable version from a standard WordPress release.
Installing a new WordPress blog using Subversion:
Don’t forget the dot in the end. You don’t want a folder named ‘tags/2.3.1′ installed on your blog directory.
Updating the blog from the repository:
To use Subversion, you must have Shell access and Subversion running on your web server. Thanks to Dreamhost. If you like to know more about the WordPress Subversion Checkout, read the WordPress Codex regarding Installing/Updating WordPress with Subversion.

Ulysses,
Does Dreamhost have a referral program? I’m thinking about switching hosts (my current host doesn’t have subversion) and I thought I’d check so you can get credit.
