Hello

I've just upgraded to Capistrano v2.15.4 and when I deploy, I get new lines like

What does -> "else" mean ?

It's kind of ugly - there's a "parallel" command  where you specify : 

  parallel do |session|

    session.when "in?(:app)", "run_this"

    session.else "run_that"

  end

which gives output like:

  "in?(:app)" :: "run_this"

  "else" :: "run_that"

The more basic "run" command is built on top of the same thing, and since it doesn't take conditionals it basically just does the same thing as session.else() from the first example.

So when you see "else" it just means your run() command is executing as normal.  It used to not show the "else" in the output in either case, up until https://github.com/mpapis/capistrano/commit/dff71ce0a867506512cb8dce7a09ae7e6aad3a37 - I think I preferred the previous behaviour.
