Thanks for this hack! This helped me out quite a bit. For as long
capistrano has been out there, I can't believe there are still so many
issues with deploying from a Windows machine!!
I had to make this change with the backslashes and I had to correct
the zip problem too (made a zip.bat and an unzip.bat file with the
proper commands so it would pass the deploy:check tests). Finally it
is could checkout my project and is now compressing all the files to
transfer up to my production server.
Thanks for your work!
