[wp-hackers] Deployment process (was Exporting Menus)

>  This looks really cool, I'm following the project now, I had question on how you handle multiple clients? is it a fork/clone per client, and you modify the config.yml?

Each site has its own repository. With the gem installed, each site just has a
lib/config.yml and a Capfile (all it does is require the gem, and do any extras
you can't do with the config).

I can see GitHub being problematic for submodules as they charge you
per-repository. We use gitosis for our private repositories
( http://progit.org/book/ch4-7.html ). Since you host it yourself there's no
limit to the number of repos or collaborators you can have, which is nice.
