Do not create special dir

[divineforest]

I think creating special '.capistrano' dir, which is displayed in first position in editor, is too much noise. Please create .capistrano file instead or use .caprc

[leehambley]

Why not configure your editor to ignore what is by 30 years of computing legacy obviously a hidden directory?

[divineforest]

Because I do not need it :) Why should I hide .gitignore, .ruby-version, .travis.yml, .rubocop.yml, etc?

[divineforest]

Why do you use special dir with only one file while other more complicated services use only one hidden file?

[leehambley]

Because there may in the future be more than one file.

more files for God of Files!

[divineforest]

Storing one word "false" looks like too much for a separate file. I suggest creating one YAML config file which can handle any number of options. It is a common practice among all ruby related tools and unix general practice as well.

[leehambley]

We'll be happy to take a PR.

Storing configuration in YAML files is not a common UNIX practice.

[divineforest]

I mean common practice to use one file per tool/service :)

If it is possible, create the folder .capistrano automatically, because it raises error even if you choose to not send stats

What does, specifically, can you share a backtrace?

[rmonteiro89]

Would you like to enable statistics?  Here is an example message we would
       send:        1|2014-12-19T12:50:58-05:00|2.1.3|x86_64-linux|3.3.3|6df96750
Do you want to enable statistics? (y/N): N

I think one would have to create the folder .capistrano if you want to send statistics and when the directory is not present, capistrano should not complain and just don't send any stats.

[leehambley]

Just upgrade, this feature was removed from Capistrano weeks ago.

Ugh, I was using the line for Gemfile from capistrano's REAMDE.md wich reads like this on master:

 gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.3.0'

So I got an old version. Thanks! I fixed it by using:

 gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.4.0'

The statistics collection was disabled in capistrano 3.4.0 as mentioned in the changelog.
