Maybe for the deployment of development servers, but other than that,
source control is not made for deployment. We use an internal PyPI  
server to deploy our Python packages, and deb for system packages.


I'd vote no to having it as part of fabric itself, at least as the de- 
facto way of deploying projects. Which seems to be the case in the  
Ruby community.
