When using capistrano, we ran into several issues:
Bundler git old repos
[err :: localhost] fatal: Could not parse object 22e2458b77519e8eb8463170c1a1fe4bab105f3e.
[out :: localhost] Git error: command git reset --hard 22e2458b77519e8eb8463170c1a1fe4bab105f3e in directory /var/www/vhosts/xxxx/httpdocs/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bundler/gems/compass-22e2458b7751 has failed.
[out :: localhost] If this error persists you could try removing the cache directory /var/www/vhosts/xxxx/httpdocs/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/cache/bundler/git/compass-dcbe0c41f22c777e90babfa80d61f78dfdea41b2
we had some git-linked bundle gems in the Gemfile. Turns out, one of the linked branches (compass with rails31 branch) no longer exists.
Shared Folder incomplete
The generated shared-Folder of capistrano missed two subfolders:
mkdir shared/log
mkdir shared/system # or whatever you need for paperclip
