Fair enough. On that topic, I have to say that git, with suitable scripts controlling it, has been good to me for deployment to webservers (ie: synchronized deployment on server clusters). Limited to interpreted languages (py, php, etc).

I am not afraid of Makefiles, rpms or debs but sometimes they are a bit too much overhead.
