How to select project folder under git control

[fanweixiao]

e.g. my git repo may looks like:

git.repo/a/b/proj1
git.repo/a/b/proj2
git.repo/a/b/proj3

When i only want to deploy proj1, how can I only copy contents of /a/b/proj1 ot deploy_to ?

Any luck with this @fanweixiao ?

+1 The assumption that the root directory of the git repo is your app is very limiting. This goes for capistrano, too.

You should be able to specify the project_path relative to the root of the repo to deploy. I'm sure this can be done. Would you accept a PR for this?

Really need this one too.

+1 This is still a good idea, a PR for this would be ok?

I am curious about this question as well. Do you recommend running a task after deployment that will manually rm -rf unwanted files/folders?

@pruett mina first get scm files, then copy whole folder to Release dir, actually we can only copy indicate one to Release to complete this.

Mina works on assumptions that the repository contains only one app.
You can always make a task which will symlink the correct folder within releases path to /current but whole repo will be feched every time
