Using git to manage deployment environment and even as deployment tools is not always a bad idea.

1. In case where development and deployment environment are almost the
same, such as html files, js files, binding the two environments as
one is convenient.

2. Event In the case where the two environement are different very
much, managing deployment environment in git sometimes still seems
good, since we can easily back to any earlier version or fix some
urgent bug ASAP (surely for the non-generated files).

3. Use 'git pull' as deploy command seems simple enough.
