I am using Git and Capistrano in a multi-stage environment.
I expect I could access the capistrano release name from the
filesystem directory somehow. Any clever way of doing this in the
application controller?
Even better would be to somehow get Capistrano to capture the SHA
(e.g. 1837213156f56b850e9045622d5c2f4a1607ef53) that it is checking
out and placing that somewhere where I can read. That way I can track
any errors based on the Git release. Perhaps just displaying the
first 4 digits would be enough. Has anyone done this somehow?

Would be best if you store the result in a constant at startup, so the
IO operation isn't called on every page.
Hope this helps.
