I see, your problem is the deployment step (putting the files back out to the web server). I do not think subversion has any tool for that. Typically that is done with other scripting tools like PERL or PowerShell. It should not be hard to write a script to deploy the files. You really don't want to merge on the server. You replace. Essentially that is really out of the scope for subversion. Try a script or, if changes are infrequent, just keep doing it manually.
