[Radiant] Question on workflow

[Sean Cribbs]

If your site doesn't get a lot of traffic (or won't), I would suggest 
using sqlite3 and git locally in your project, and using the copy 
strategy in Capistrano.  These settings should do the trick:

set :deploy_via, :copy
set :copy_strategy, :export
set :scm, :git
set :repository, '/full/path/to/the/local/project'
set :git_enable_submodules, true

The last line will help when you have extensions and/or Radiant 
installed as submodules.  If you add the sqlite3 database to the 
repository (at least initially), you won't have to run setup on the server.
