1) Use branching. You'd probably need at least a branch for the production
server.

2) In general, you would set up some kind of automatic copy of committed
files to the respective server, either in the traditional way through a
postcommit/postcommand script, or through the "Automatic checkout
extension" plugin and the shadow file.
