I am sorry, that my comment was maybe a little bit contradictory. My current
workflow is the following:

1) cvs checkout on dev machine (remote, purely development no production,
debian linux, cvs "Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.9 (client/server)")
2) sftp checkout on local machine (no-server, only IDE running, windows)
3) file changes automatically mirrored by SFTP-client to a web-accessible
directory on the dev machine (remote)
4) testing on dev machine (remote, internet-application, controlled using
browser)
5) if everything is working fine -> commit

So the producion server is in no way concerned by this workflow. There are
just two machines: The local Windows machine with the IDE running and the
remote Unix development machine where the application is hosted

so the following workflow wouldn't work for me, because the local machine is
not a web server.
