I have an idea.
Lets cache the whole repository on the remote server. Not only one
branch(trunk, tag).
# in your application deploy recipe
# instead of
# set :repository, "your_repo_url/my_app/trunk"
# write
set :repository, "your_repo_url/my_app"
# and set a branch variable
set :branch, "trunk" # the user can change it acording to varialbes
set via the CLI or based on the current stage etc.
And lets copy not the whole shared_path/cached-copy but the specified
branch from the cached copy to the release_path
#in capistrano/recipes/deploy/strategy/remote_cashe.rb
# add this method
def repository_cache_branch
File.join(repository_cache, configuration[:branch] || "")
end
# and change the original copy_repository_cache method to this
def copy_repository_cache
logger.trace "copying the cached version to
#{configuration[:release_path]}"
run "cp -RPp #{repository_cache_branch}
#{configuration[:release_path]} && #{mark}" # repository_cache
replaced by repository_cache_branch
end
Here is the diff patch http://www.szymon.jez.net.pl/files/remote_cache.rb.diff
The changes made in this patch are backwards compatible. They don't
affect the way people were using remote_cache. When the variable
branch is not set and the variable repository is pointing directly to
a branch it will work as always.
I tested this with my production app using capistrano-2.2.0
I think it could be applied to capistrano's trunk.
