Automatically fetch and pull on Debian server

I have a Debian server and a git repo (Assembla). What I would like to achieve is to have a function which automatically fetches any new revision and puts it in our 'test' host.

Meaning that if I push a new change on the repo, I should see it within a minute on the server running already.

Is that possible?

My server runs Debian 6 Squeeze

UPDATE: I would also like to be able to tell where a folder should be placed (e.g. /src should go into the root folder).

Shell script:

#!/bin/bash
dir=$1
cd $dir
git pull
cd -

Cron task:

*/1 * * * * root /usr/bin/bash path_to_script somedir

You could always set up a crontab which does an update every few minutes. Something like this:

*/5 * * * * /bin/git pull origin master

I'm sure there are better ways though. But this will run the git command every 5 minutes.

Note: I'm not familiar with the Git CLI syntax, so make sure you write that correctly.
