+    Deploys your project. This calls both `update' and `restart'. Note that \
+    this will generally only work for applications that have already been deployed \
+    once. For a "cold" deploy, you'll want to take a look at the `deploy:cold' \
+    task, which handles the cold start specifically.

+    Prepares one or more servers for deployment. Before you can use any \
+    of the Capistrano deployment tasks with your project, you will need to \
+    make sure all of your servers have been prepared with `cap deploy:setup'. When \
+    you add a new server to your cluster, you can easily run the setup task \
+    on just that server by specifying the HOSTS environment variable:
+
+      $ cap HOSTS=new.server.com deploy:setup
+
+    It is safe to run this task on servers that have already been set up; it \
+    will not destroy any deployed revisions or data.

+    Copies your project and updates the symlink. It does this in a \
+    transaction, so that if either `update_code' or `symlink' fail, all \
+    changes made to the remote servers will be rolled back, leaving your \
+    system in the same state it was in before `update' was invoked. Usually, \
+    you will want to call `deploy' instead of `update', but `update' can be \
+    handy if you want to deploy, but not immediately restart your application.

+    Copies your project to the remote servers. This is the first stage \
+    of any deployment; moving your updated code and assets to the deployment \
+    servers. You will rarely call this task directly, however; instead, you \
+    should call the `deploy' task (to do a complete deploy) or the `update' \
+    task (if you want to perform the `restart' task separately).
+
+    You will need to make sure you set the :scm variable to the source \
+    control software you are using (it defaults to :subversion), and the \
+    :deploy_via variable to the strategy you want to use to deploy (it \
+    defaults to :checkout).

+    [internal] Touches up the released code. This is called by update_code \
+    after the basic deploy finishes. It assumes a Rails project was deployed, \
+    so if you are deploying something else, you may want to override this \
+    task with your own environment's requirements.
+
+    This task will make the release group-writable (if the :group_writable \
+    variable is set to true, which is the default). It will then set up \
+    symlinks to the shared directory for the log, system, and tmp/pids \
+    directories, and will lastly touch all assets in public/images, \
+    public/stylesheets, and public/javascripts so that the times are \
+    consistent (so that asset timestamping works).  This touch process \
+    is only carried out if the :normalize_asset_timestamps variable is \
+    set to true, which is the default.

+    Updates the symlink to the most recently deployed version. Capistrano works \
+    by putting each new release of your application in its own directory. When \
+    you deploy a new version, this task's job is to update the `current' symlink \
+    to point at the new version. You will rarely need to call this task \
+    directly; instead, use the `deploy' task (which performs a complete \
+    deploy, including `restart') or the 'update' task (which does everything \
+    except `restart').

+
+  desc <<-DESC
+    Copy files to the currently deployed version. This is useful for updating \
+    files piecemeal, such as when you need to quickly deploy only a single \
+    file. Some files, such as updated templates, images, or stylesheets, \
+    might not require a full deploy, and especially in emergency situations \
+    it can be handy to just push the updates to production, quickly.
+
+    To use this task, specify the files and directories you want to copy as a \
+    comma-delimited list in the FILES environment variable. All directories \
+    will be processed recursively, with all files being pushed to the \
+    deployment servers.
+

+    Restarts your application. This works by calling the script/process/reaper \
+    script under the current path.
+    
+    By default, this will be invoked via sudo as the `app' user. If \
+    you wish to run it as a different user, set the :runner variable to \

+      Rolls back to the previously deployed version. The `current' symlink will \
+      be updated to point at the previously deployed version, and then the \
+      current release will be removed from the servers. You'll generally want \
+      to call `rollback' instead, as it performs a `restart' as well.

+    Run the migrate rake task. By default, it runs this in most recently \
+    deployed version of the app. However, you can specify a different release \
+    via the migrate_target variable, which must be one of :latest (for the \
+    default behavior), or :current (for the release indicated by the \
+    `current' symlink). Strings will work for those values instead of symbols, \
+    too. You can also specify additional environment variables to pass to rake \
+    via the migrate_env variable. Finally, you can specify the full path to the \
+    rake executable by setting the rake variable. The defaults are:

+    Deploy and run pending migrations. This will work similarly to the \
+    `deploy' task, but will also run any pending migrations (via the \
+    `deploy:migrate' task) prior to updating the symlink. Note that the \
+    update in this case it is not atomic, and transactions are not used, \

+    Clean up old releases. By default, the last 5 releases are kept on each \

+    other deployed revisions are removed from the servers. By default, this \
+    will use sudo to clean up the old releases, but if sudo is not available \
