I just created a subdomain to use as a test version of my live site.  
When I run a cap deploy, which deploys to my subdomain, the file  
structure created does not contain the shared folder. It only  
consists of folders: current, releases, revisions.log. When I ‘cd’  
into current, my log folder is linked back to what should be a shared  
folder located with the other three folders above. For some reason  
cap deploy does not create this shared folder where my log files  
should be. This did not happen when I created my domain and svn  
repository originally. Has anyone run into this problem before?
