I use Fabric with mercurial to achieve a similar effect typing "fab prod deploy" - see Steve Losh's blog posts or bitbucket.org/kevinburke/goodmorningcmc

You can do the same with Capistrano. However for a very basic static site it does sound simpler to just use a post-receive hook rather than having a script ssh in and do a pull.

Yep, same here. I wonder why more people don't do it, my fabric scripts basically push to production and then fabric logs in and updates, restarts services, etc.

That's my preferred way of deployment as well. fabric + git
