We do exactly this. We have a staging instance, and a production instance. Both exist in a single git repo as separate branches. The main different for this is that the staging and production config file point to different port and database instances.
We also maintain a staging and production python environment to match. Changes always flow from staging to production and follow the git branch modeling from http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ This has worked EXTREMELY well for us.
