Either is possible.  We could set up a port-knocker to signal you when
there's an SVN commit.  (We already do this to update www when htdocs
gets updated).

As for moving the whole thing to Code, I think it would be better to
wait until Code gets updated to a more recent version of the OS.  It's
currently running Fedora 10.  Fedora 15 was just released today.  I
should have time to actually update the system starting next week so I
can schedule the maintenance.  It will require several hours of downtime
to perform the upgrades.

Once I perform the upgrade we could move the git sync to the server.
Down the road we could still consider migrating from SVN to GIT
completely?

Or we could set up the port knocker (which I could do sooner).
