Is there any news on this? I haven't found any more mention of it in the group or on the web, and have been unsuccessful in finding where to find capistrano plugins (to see if this one is on the list yet). The fact that manuals.rubyonrails.com is down (again) may be a factor in my lack of success so far.
I'm particularly interested in the cached_repository strategy. We've got a large rails project that takes several minutes to deploy every time we make one small change to the code, when, if I understand it correctly, the cached_repository method would probably cut that down to several agonizing seconds.
