As Jerry mentions, this is a bit off topic, but I think you have two options
1. You use svn to check out the live branch on the live environment, just see
to that the .svn directories can't be accessed trough the web (configure your
apache to not display those).
2. You rsync the code from the test environment to the live environment.
I think the first one would be a better one, as you may want to make some
changes in the live environment at the same time as you are working on a major
update on the testing/developing branch of the code.
