Even in less simple cases, that's often a good way to run things. As
long as your source repo has no large binary files in it, it'll be
reasonably small; for 400KB of source code and ~1600 commits spanning
~3 years of history, around about 2MB. When your deployment is a
source clone, it's really easy to pull changes and see what's new; and
if you ever find a bug on a deployment machine (maybe a different OS
from your usual dev system), you can make a patch right there and send
it along. There's no huge "okay, let's make a new release now"
overhead - you just keep committing (maybe pushing) changes, same as
you do any other time, and perhaps tag some commit with a version
number. Very very easy. I recommend it.
