I don't think it's that simple. Those sites are automatically updated
in a subversion post commit hook, which looks like it needs to be on
the same server. The code is:

#
# Update boost website
#
WEBDIR=/home/www/beta.boost.org
cd $WEBDIR
svn up
cd /home/www/live.boost.org
svn up

I'm not sure where this is on the server. I got it from:

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/server/subversion/hooks/

As part of the git transition, we're going to need to trigger updating
the site from another machine, but I don't know what the plan for that
is. I think David Abrahams had some sort of plan, so I'm cc-ing him.

Beman Dawes I think. I guess he was at C++Now for the last week, so he
might have missed this, so I've cc-ed him as well.
