Capistrano deployment with rsync

Question

I am trying to deploy apps from my dev machine using capistrano and rsync. I have studied that rsync is used for backup and only copies bytes that are changed in the file. But to fit it as capistrano task.

A sample deploy code with rsync, with explanation would be be greatly helpful.

Thanks

If you soon end up using Capistrano v3 (v3.0.0pre14 as of right now), the good old Rsync support gem capistrano_rsync_with_remote_cache won't work. I recently created the spiritual success to that called Capistrano::Rsync which you might want to try.
