Hi,

In another post I commented on how i find it strange that the deploy
task has no switch to ignore "File/Directory already exists" and just
overwrite what's already there.

Now, I find it even more crazy that I do the following:

cap deploy:setup  (# which will create the releases folder, shared,
etc. on the server.  This works)

cap deploy:update_code

and it fails because it says:

** [myserver.com :: err] fatal: could not create work tree dir '/
kunden/264063_10115/smf-services/appbaukasten/test/releases/
20101213114233'.: File exists

But it was this SAME script that created that folder!!  So there's no
way for this task to ever complete successfully.

I'm using :deploy_via, :copy

and using Ruby 1.8.7 and capistrano 2.5.2

Can someone help me as to how I can make my deploy scripts take a --
force switch, to make it just overwrite something that already exists
on the server?  I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to
solve this problem and it's highly frustrating that people talk about
Capistrano and what it can do for you and yet I'm stuck on the
simplest case.
