Title: Don't rescue everything... :)

Howdy Gang,

I was actually looking to see why them gem needs to use sudo to notify of a deploy (not sure if it was a configuration issue of mine or yours). While investigating, I noticed that you were catching everything.

Using StandardError instead makes sure it's actually an error instead of capturing anything under the sun (signals/interrupts).

... I think I learned that from Sam, actually.

Anyway, if you all have a specific reason for doing it, do share, because I'm curious...
