That may be true. I have not seen what Cake offers in that respect.
For the few rails projects I developed, I used capistrano but for small projects this felt unrewarding. Tangentially (to git pulls), I did notice that PHP developers favor SVN to git, which I don't like as much.
"I did notice that PHP developers favor SVN to git..."
I can attest to this. I spend a lot of time working with PHP with a lot of different people, and almost every single one of them uses SVN for deployment. I'm not sure if this good practice or not, but it's just so convenient.
