I always felt cap was overboard for my needs, so I tossed a simple script on
my server: https://gist.github.com/4c4e2a90985ce6b965e6
I then added an alias in my bash config that ssh'd to the server and
executed the script there when I wanted to deploy. Now, mind you, I was
always pulling in master. If you want to only use tags you're probably
better off using `git fetch origin` and `git reset --hard TAG_NAME_HERE`
You would, of course, need to devise a way to pass the tag name to the
script, or use a branch name like "production" to mark where you want to
deploy at.
Also note, you probably don't want to clone every time, just pull or fetch.
