Use git archive to deploy on the production server (instead of git clone) #17

Open carribeiro opened 13 years ago

On fabfile.py, line 134:

    local('cd /tmp && git clone git@github.com:carribeiro/vdeli.git' % env)

We are using a local clone, and then doing a rsync. It would be better to use a git archive because it's smaller and do not replicate history in the public server.

I put some code on the fabfile that is commented now and that is not working correctly. We have to first do the git clone anyway, then generate the archive, and after that we can copy the repository to the server. It's a bit more complicated that I thought.
