h1. Git for deployment

Pros:

* instant (atomic?) switching
* diffs between versions are concise and can include commits
* VERY little space
* pre and post-update hooks allow you to reject pushes that may overwrite un-commited data

Cons:

* doing work is harder (like pre-compiling smarty tpls)
* a good deployment process takes a lot of time to set up
