There is no copy strategy, but you can undefined the "Git" tasks and https://github.com/capistrano/sshkit/blob/master/EXAMPLES.md#upload-a-directory-of-filesor http://lee.hambley.name/2013/06/11/using-capistrano-v3-with-chef.html
Capistrano will soon default to not loading the "Git" tasks at all, unless asked. (so you don't have to turn off features that you don't need, just don't load them in the first place.) There'll be an issue created soon enough, I thought there was one, but searching suggests not. The copy strategy was removed due to nobody in the entire project's history ever having been satisfied with the default options we chose. (I might be exaggerating, but the feature never seemed to work out of the box for anyone, rsync, exclude patterns, sftp vs. scp, etc, etc, etc) - the easiest way is just to provide the versioning framework and give people the tools to do whatever works for them. A bit reason for the move to backing Capistrano with Rake (see my blog link above) was to enable this conditional rebuild of binaries (tarballs, etc) for the use-cases such as deploying chef recipes, and things which don't necessarily need to be committed first, before you can test them (at least in all my experience, if I had to commit chef cookbooks before testing them, my Git history would be a *mess*.) Hope that clarifies some of the "why" in the meantime, track this thread, I'll update it when I find, or create the ticket which is of interest to you.
