I have been trying to set up a deployment similar to this, but I have been having an issue with speed. With both the script I wrote and the script here, it will sometimes take 15 minutes for a push to complete. It seems to me that the problem is when switching between the two working directories. When I push the same branch as I had previously, it only takes a few seconds to make a small change. However, if I had last pushed the master branch and now push the dev branch, it will take 15 minutes to complete, even just to make one change on a 2kB file. Additionally, it this case, windows shows all the files in the directory as having been modified, rather than just the 1 file that had been changed and committed.

It’s the only kind of “Hero” that I’m willing to classify as such.

I do see as heroes the collective effort here in this country for example, to push for an alternative, more environment friendly, more healthy mean of transportation. That is real heroism.

While I do respect the sports men/women that do set amazing goal and work towards them, if those goals are “personal challenges”, I can’t see them as heroes. They are doing it for themselves.

I know this was not your main point here, but here comes mine.

Athletes that do what they do for money, fame and “need to be better than anyone else” are not only NOT HEROES, they are actually mean bastards. Armstrong is a shame: the man was drugged by success (that the only reason I can see at the moment). He didn’t care that he had betrayed his own sport.
