I get around the config file problem by just writing everything so it's $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] independent. Something like:
Code:
if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'localhost') {
// do localhost config
} elseif($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'dev.server') {
// do dev server config
}...
So the same config files will work on all of the machines. There are only 2-3 config changes that are in blocks like this, so it's not as bad as it looks.
The dev server is a working copy that is automatically updated on a successful commit.
I hadn't thought of tagging a revision as 'stable' and exporting that to the live site...that's a great idea.
What we've been doing is just committing/updating the dev server working copy and then after testing that, cp the files to the production server directory.
