A copy strategy for Capistrano 3, which mimics the :copy scm of Capistrano 2.

This will make Capistrano tar the current directory, upload it to the server(s) and then extract it in the release directory.

Machine running Capistrano:

• Capistrano 3
• tar

Servers:

• mktemp
• tar

First make sure you install the capistrano-scm-copy by adding it to your Gemfile:

gem "capistrano-scm-icopy"

Add to Capfile:

require 'capistrano/copy'

Then switch the :scm option to :copy in config/deploy.rb:

set :scm, :copy

I'm new to programming for Capistrano and even Ruby in general. So any feedback is appreciated.
