First, set the :deploy_via variable to :copy :

   set :deploy_via, :copy

Then, deploy!

   cap deploy

That will do a "checkout" to a temporary directory, tar+gz it up, and  
sftp it to the remote host(s). If you'd rather use an "export", so as  
not to send all the SCM metadata to the servers, just add:

   set :copy_strategy, :export

Lastly, if you'd rather use zip or tar+bz2 to compress the archive,  
rather than tar+gz:

   set :copy_compression, :zip # or :bzip2

Hope that helps,

Jamis
