Silly question.

Is there a cap command that tells me which revision of a code base is  
deployed to the target? Something like:

cap revision

I’d definitely like to check my code base revision in production  
before deploying.

Hello,

Here’s how I’ve done it (in config/deploy.rb):

task :revision, :roles =\> :app do  
run %(tail -1 #{deploy\_to}/revisions.log)  
end

-tero
