Well, many folks use puppet in serverless configuration pushing the
manifest from a central git server via cron and applying locally the
configuration fetched. In this sense git IS used for deployement. And,
for a configuration management system as puppet this could be a
sensible thing to do - reduce load, scalability ecc.
