OK, I got it. I can:

svn import /var/www/current-website file:///home/user/svnrepo/www-repo/trunk
svn co –force file:///home/user/svnrepo/www-repo/trunk /var/www/current-website

then I will have a WC in my current-website directory and I can cd and just:

svn up

anytime I want to pull the newest revision on production.

One more question – will checking out to the current-website directory redownload all the files from the repo? Or does it somehow compare those?

What’s the difference between checking out and exporting?

You can’t check out to the current-website, as it isn’t a working copy. There are two solutions you could consider. Either you cd into current-website and checkout from the repository, thus turning the dir into a working copy, or else, overwrite changed files using svn export.

How do I update the original project’s files?

I did as described above:
mkdir ~/svnrepo/; cd ~/svnrepo
svnadmin create www-repo
svn import /var/www/current-website file:///home/user/svnrepo/www-repo/trunk
svn co file:///home/user/svnrepo/www-repo/trunk ~/work-in-progress/www

I made changes.

svn commit ~/work-in-progress/www -m ‘Users registration now with Ajax’

But my /var/www/current-website isn’t in the repository therefore I can’t update it to revision 2 like this:

cd /var/www/current-website
svn update
