Override :except => {:no_release => true}

[iamruinous]

Add ability to override the task options, useful for custom/multistage deploys.

This seems reasonable. Especially for custom setups like you said. But I'm not sure about merging this one. I get that it would make it easier in some cases, but at that point I'd almost rather you use the underlying run <capistrano-unicorn method> statements directly. They're very straightforward and reduce the need to manage lots of options for very custom setups.

Can I get any thoughts from anyone else?

need to be able to skip reload if no servers with unicorn roles found that solution seem to solve the issue of having muti stages where some stages are unicorn and some are pasenger

@innovia Right, but won't my proposed solution solve that neatly? If you want an example, I can whip one up pretty quickly.
