Jeb, That is a copy of the git repository for your project that gets created with each release. Checkout the deploy method that you're using (deploy_via) which defaults to using 'git clone' which will copy the entire repo history. You might try using "shallow clone", see this page for more info: http://help.github.com/capistrano/
Hope this helps Cheers, -Tim Stackhouse We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done. --Alan Turing, 1950 On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 9:35 AM, jeb <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am afraid this is a rather stupid question, but I have spent quite > some time to figure it out without any > success.
