Create directories in shared paths if they do not exist?

I believe capistrano does it automatically, but I may be mistaken.

I don't think this is a good idea, even if Capistrano did it.

If the directories are magically created but there is nothing there, your release will fail anyway. IMHO, creating these folders and filling them should be part of the machine provisioning, not the deployment scripts

[jorge-marques]

Yeah, you're right.
