If like me you didn’t know, you can do that with Capistrano:
1 $ cap HOSTS=web0.myapp.com deploy:update_code
2 cap ROLES=web,app deploy
Not terribly useful for the tasks demonstrated above, but what about this ?
1 $ cap ROLES=app monit:summary
Incidentally, where are these documented ? I dimly remembered reading this somewhere once, and tried it. Works like a charm!

git archive <tree-ish> > my_new_archive.tar

I think I might use this in Piston. I’m not too sure yet, as I haven’t implemented piston-git, but it looks like a promising candidate.
