You may want to consider using NAnt or something similar for tasks you wish to automate, like building and publishing to Subversion. This is most of my build file for a WebApplication Project. It might be different for MVC. If so, I'm sure you can use this as a starting point. I am by no means an NAnt expert so there may be some flaws, but this is definitely working for me.
I had to add a PublishToFileSystem target to each .csproj file I wanted to publish. The source for that can be found here.
