On that topic, I have to say that git, with suitable scripts controlling it, has been good to me for deployment to webservers (ie: synchronized deployment on server clusters).

I am not afraid of Makefiles, rpms or debs but sometimes they are a bit too much overhead. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
