grunt deployment to SPOnline via webdav

In the README.md, where it talks about deploying to a SP folder:

//YourTenantNameHere.sharepoint.com@SSL/DavWWWRoot/sites/dev/Shared Documents/SPServices-dev

That did not work for me. After following this article and using backslashes, I ended up making it work:

\\YourTenantNameHere.sharepoint.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\sites\dev\Shared Documents\SPServices-dev

Of course the backslashes need to be escaped in the me.build.json file:

{
    "deployLocation": "\\\\YourTenantNameHere.sharepoint.com@SSL\\DavWWWRoot\\sites\\dev\\Shared Documents\\SPServices-dev"
}

I’m not sure if it’s just about the backslashes or also the whole configuration steps in the article, perhaps it’s worth doing a bit more research and updating the readme?

@juliemturner and I have been fiddling with spsave recently, which looks like a better way to go for publishing changes to SharePoint. We’ve had some trouble getting watch to work, but we’ll undoubtedly publish our learnings at some point.

@juliemturner and I just started a blog series on how we’re setting things up these days. Stay tooned…
