installing civicrm with drush without tarfile

[mpnordland]

So I've got an in place Civi install that I have under version control in a git repo. I'd like to be able to do an initial deploy by pulling my code and then running drush civicrm-install with my db info. Because my staging environment is on a bluehost shared server and production is on a dedicated I have differing database names between environments. This means that I can't place civicrm.settings.php under version control. So I need a way to install civi, from drush, or at least the command line. I've put together a curl command to run the install page, but it feels too hacky. Is there a better way?
