Wordpress 2.3.1
Wordpress 2.3.1 got released friday and this was the first time that I could find out if the subversion method really would save me some time.
Turns out it’s one single command to update to the newest version:
svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.3.1/
After that, I reran the /wp-admin/upgrade.php script (even though there were no database changes) just to be sure and the upgrade was done. It took about 1 minute.
Instructions for upgrading wordpress through subversion can be found here. I definitely think this is worth changing to, it will save you a lot of time in the future.
