Rails 3.1.1 why public/system content is not transferred upon deployment

Testing locally I uploaded files into public/system/… folders
( default for Paperclip)
Upon deployment ( capistrano) on the remote server, I can see a
symlink from public/system to the shared/system/ but the content
( all images ) is not transferred… I had to do it myself via
ftp …

Is it a standard behavior ? or did I miss adding a task in the
deployment ?

thanks for your feedback

Well, the deployed files are only those included in repository.

It is standard behavior, you might read up on capistrano on urls like

(plenty of others that deal with the why and how of the symlinked
directories.
