Sometimes the first bb deploy doesn't work without -f about biff HOT 3 CLOSED

Alternatively you can leave the deploy-cmd unmodified if you run git push prod <your branch name>:master -f in the project root - bb deploy should work fine without -f after that. I'm not sure about making -f the default, especially if you're not the only developer working on that branch (but as a solo dev it should be fine).

In this case I think force pushing isn't a big deal since it's just for deploying--if you're working on a team then presumably you're also pushing the code to github or elsewhere. Either way, it'd certainly be nice to not need the workaround.

I'm actually kind of wondering if there's any point in using git to deploy at all; maybe we should just use rsync for everything... something to think about.

Closed by v0.7.11 -- now bb deploy just uses rsync instead of git.
