make...er with a Makefile like so maybe?

CATEGORY=sysadm_general
FILES=update.conf cfservd.conf cfagent.conf
SHELL=/bin/ksh
MODE=444

default:

clean:
        @-rm *~

permission:
        @if [ `whoami` != 'root' ]; then \
                echo "must be root to run 'make install'" ; \
                exit 1; \
        fi

install:        permission
        @if check; then \
                chmod 444 ${FILES}; \
                chown root.wheel ${FILES}; \
                echo "Copying CFengine configs to production area.";\
                /bin/cp /var/cfengine/inputs/${FILES} /var/bu/cfengine/;\
                /bin/cp  ${FILES} /var/cfengine/inputs/; \
        fi



I guess you would want to change the install section, and the "FILES"
section to reflect what lives in your svn repo...
