I suspect that's breaking because your line break is inside a quoted
string...and capistrano's escaping is too naive to understand that.
You could put the command in a script and execute the script, thereby
foiling cap's escaping logic.

I'd like to keep my task definitions within deploy.rb, if possible. I
can open the Command class in deploy.rb, if need be.
In what situation would we want the '\\\', anyway? a\\\b gets
changed to:
a\
b
Would I break anything by changing \\\n to \\n in Command#process!
Thanks for your help,
The escaping is there so that commands like this:
run(-CMD)
if [ some_condition ];
then
do_something
do_another_thing
fi
CMD
Get translated into a single line and passed through to the remote
host correctly. I'm pretty sure there are tests for that case, so if
Thanks!

The easiest method turns out to be just double-escaping my strings,
e.g. a\\nb to get a\nb in the remote command.
