I use svn too. I hope git is a passing fad.

My entire project is in trunk and I always deploy to the staging server
directly from trunk

I work on the project in the "mike" branch and that's what is used by
the dev server

I merge from mike into trunk and test before deploying to staging

When comfortable, I make a tag with the version number and deploy it to
production via a script on the production server which exports the named tag

My svn server is online so other devs can have their own branches. You
can branch trunk any time to work on a specific feature and merge it
back or discard as desired. I frequently branch from mike and so on.

I have the mike branch in a couple of virtualenv directories (for
pythons 2 and 3) and trunk lives in its own directory with py2.7 because
both servers run 2.7 (which has to stop before I go mad - gotta get to
3.x exclusively).

I never work on trunk directly but always on a branch and merge that in
for testing in trunk. If testing throws up a problem I revert the merge
and go back to work in the branch.
