[Rails] [Maybe OT] One Button Deployment of Rails App

[Tobias Luetke]

I use a script which logs on the server using net::ssh, checks out the
latest version of the app from svn
in its own directory, runs all unit tests and if that works well it
symlinks the new directory to the docroot and restarts apache
gracefully.

Obviously its totally hardcoded for my environment but it might be
useful to you anyways...
