A push from the script?

I don't think there's any permissions there to push. It's running as
the apache user, and I don't think it's a good idea to set it up to
commit. If someone broke into that account they could push bad changes
back to the repo. This seems like not a good idea.

Perhaps some kind of daily job somewhere else... 
or perhaps someone could just do it every week or more regularly. 

I'd be happy to do it if I knew the exact SOP/process to do so.
