Making subversion do things on commit is easy. In the subversion
repository's directory, look for a directory called hooks. In there by
default is a set of template files for each place in the process where you
can do things. For my own setup, I have a post-commit script that updates
the appropriate website when a commit is done. It's also handy with rails
apps because you can have it restart dispatch processes or whatever else
you need. The script can be in whatever language is handy (bash, ruby,
csh, elisp...)
I also used to do this with cvs using their log mechanism to call a script
instead of a mailer, but subversion is much cleaner.
