Directory structure

The deploy procedures make the assumption that you have a folder like so:

/var/www/flipstack.com/     # The deploy_to path
 |-  releases/              # Holds releases, one subdir per release
 |   |- 1/
 |   |- 2/
 |   |- 3/
 |   '- ...
 |-  shared/                # Holds files shared between releases
 |   |- logs/               # Log files are usually stored here
 |   `- ...
 '-  current/               # A symlink to the current release in releases/

It also assumes that the deploy_to path is fully writeable/readable for the user we’re going to SSH with.
