# lib/capistrano/tasks/deploy.rb
namespace :deploy do
  ...

  desc 'Tag the deployed revision'
  task :tag_revision do
    date = Date.today.to_s

    puts `git tag deploy-#{date} #{fetch :current_revision}`
    puts `git push --tags origin`
  end

end

# config/deploy/production.rb
after 'deploy:finished', 'deploy:tag_revision'
