I recently got myself a domain name (see the very creative and modest URL in
my .sig), which means--horror of horrors--I actually need to start writing and
maintaining web pages again. What tools are people using to maintain web
sites remotely? I'm mainly thinking of maintaining a complete copy of the site
on my home machine using CVS or something, and periodically "push"-ing [1] a
copy onto the web site via ssh; however, if I start allowing data to be
written to the web site via discussion boards or something, I would need to
sync in the other direction as well.

Now, I haven't done web development in ages, but I assume there are tools
already written to do this sort of thing elegantly--where are they? I
poked around on freshmeat but couldn't find anything interesting. And no,
I can't use rsync because the hosting site doesn't let me use it.

[1] Where did all the "push"y Web vendors disappear to? You never hear about
them these days.
