I’m getting ready to deploy my first rails app and the shop I work in  
prefers to use a CVS repository since its what they have been using  
for years. is there a way to automate the deployment with Capistrano  
in this environment?

Never tried it, but I think capistrano does support CVS, since  
versión1.0, check your config/deploy.rb:

# 

=============================================================================

# OPTIONAL VARIABLES

# 

=============================================================================

# set :deploy\_to, “/path/to/app” # defaults to "/u/apps/

#{application}"

# set :user, “flippy” # defaults to the currently logged in

user

# set :scm, :cvs # defaults to :subversion

# set :svn, “/path/to/svn” # defaults to searching the PATH

# set :darcs, “/path/to/darcs” # defaults to searching the PATH

# set :cvs, “/path/to/cvs” # defaults to searching the PATH

# set :gateway, “[gate.host.com](http://gate.host.com)” # default to no gateway

And start by uncommenting # set :scm, :cvs # defaults  
to :subversion
