I got the same answer from my question to the mercurial list. I was thinking of using the export functionality of hgweb and set a special url for it in deploy.rb.

I haven't looked into remote_cache yet, will do that. /Marcus -- http://marcus.ahnve.net --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
