svn overwriting a WordPress installation

svn_overwrite.sh

#!/usr/bin/sh

# This script will overwrite an existing 
# WordPress installation with the current
# head of trunk. Once it has been reverted,
# you may need to update the database, and 
# WP will prompt you for that automatically.

# This is untested with these options!
# The script commands work from the command
# line; make sure and do a practice test
# before attempting to run this as a script.

export repo="http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk"
export target="./heyday"

svn checkout --force $repo $target
svn revert -R $target

Nice! Usually I put things like this in the ~/install directory, though that's pretty arbitrary. What directory do I have to be in to run this?

Just tried this on my dev environment - worked like a charm!!

Actually, this works better:

svn checkout "http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk" ~/public_html

This puts WP in the web root directory. Also, for some reason --force doesn't work in my environment.
