    Hi, I have been managing a wordpress site for a client by using subversion. I’ve been considering handing the updates over to them, but don’t know how to convert the installation over to the automatic update version. Any thoughts on how I should do this? Should I check out a new copy? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

    That really depends heavily on how you have the site structured. It could be as simple as doing an svn export of the site, or you may have to manually remove all the .svn directories from it to make it a normal set of files and such.

    SVN working copies are not particularly special, they’re just files in directories. They have hidden .svn directories that hold the relevant metadata for allowing svn to do its thing, but other than that, it’s just a normal set of files. Remove all the .svn folders and the auto-update will run just fine.

    Obviously, make a backup first before making any changes.
