I would like to keep our version updated to 1.7 all the time; but we have lots of extensions installed and other things in the same directory as mediawiki. If I run svn up on my local directory, would it only upgrade the mediawiki files that have changed, without removing our special stuff? And no, I haven't changed any actual mediawiki files other than LocalSettings.php; so would this work?
svn up shouldn't interfere with your custom files. (As long as they don't conflict, of course.)
Don't forget to run maintenance/update.php to update localizations and database changes as well. These may come without warning. (And always use caution and back up your data regularly.)
