If you are using Rails 3.1+ and have the asset pipeline enabled, you may see errors like this during the deploy:

  * executing "find /srv/example/releases/20120712140049/public/images /srv/example/releases/20120712140049/public/stylesheets /srv/example/releases/20120712140049/public/javascripts -exec touch -t 201207121400.55 {} ';'; true"
    servers: ["www.example.com"]
    [www.example.com] executing command
 ** [out :: www.example.com] find: `/srv/example/releases/20120712140049/public/images': No such file or directory
 ** [out :: www.example.com] find: `/srv/example/releases/20120712140049/public/stylesheets': No such file or directory
 ** [out :: www.example.com] find: `/srv/example/releases/20120712140049/public/javascripts': No such file or directory

This is Capistrano attempting to normalize all timestamps, in order for mtimes to be consistent across multiple servers. The asset pipeline has it's own way of dealing with that though, so it's not necessarily. It can be disabled by adding this to config/moonshine.yml:

:normalize_asset_timestamps: false
