# tweak the date format as needed to add time fields (see: "man date")
$ date_format="%Y-%m-%d"
$ curr_date=$(date +"$date_format")
$ svn co <svn project url> $curr_date

$ old_date=$(readlink current)
$ ln -sf $curr_date current

$ chown www-data:www-data $curr_date

$ tar -cvf $old_date.tar.gz old_date
