Answer 2

I often simply do calls to svn in Exec tasks. It has worked fine so far, but perhaps there might be reasons not to.

Example (used to revert AssemblyInfo files that are edited during automatic build):

    <Exec Command="svn revert %(AssemblyVersionFile.RelativeDir)%(AssemblyVersionFile.Filename)%(AssemblyVersionFile.Extension)" />

Answer 3

Going a step further, we use MSBUILD with cruisecontrol.net which has a SVN task. We have implemented continuous integration [automatic daily builds every night] using CC.net and get email notifications of the results after the build has been done. here is the cc.net site
