Hmm, have you actually got everything working that way? I've found there's a few too many tasks to do that way, and wrote a Fabric script to deploy. It pulls git, checks for dependencies with a requirements file, compiles translations, runs collectstatic to put static files in the right places, and reloads Apache (and could run tests). Works quite well.

How does Fabric compare to setting up a git hook on post-merge to run collectstatic, etc.?

Not too big a fan of git hooks, but mostly because I haven't played around with them too much. My script is here: https://gist.github.com/1755101 A bunch of simple functions, some wrappers for directories and the environment, and an order of operations
