Description
It'd be really nice if you could deploy branches, Capistrano already deploys this with SHA and STRICT_DEPLOYS. Awesome strategy for deploying risky branches would be something like:
- Deploy
risky_branchfrom my branch after rebasing with latest deployed SHA. - See that it works.
- Deploy latest deployed sha again.
- Merge to master, where it will be part of a future deploy.

Research direction
Start by reading the deployment coordination flow and how SHA and STRICT_DEPLOYS are currently handled, then compare that behavior with Capistrano's branch deployment support. Define what must change so a risky branch can be deployed, reverted to the latest deployed SHA, and later merged without affecting the deployment workflow.
