> _why_ you would want to use git-push Many of us like to have some recent past releases sitting on the production servers in order to make instant rollbacks i

  This is almost exactly what Capistrano does. What's hilarious is that this entire thread reads like a discussion that could have lead to the development of Capistrano. * Capistrano can deploy via git (it uses export) * Capistrano keeps a configurable number of releases around in case you need to rollback * Capistrano provides an ordered task system with before/after hooks at every one of its pre-defined tasks * Capistrano can be just as lightweight as using git to deploy: cap deploy git push Two additional characters! * You may not need all the stuff that Capistrano provides today, but as your project grows, you will need it. Why waste your time with a compromised deployment hack when better tools are available and easy to use?
