Problem upgrading to Rails 2.3.2

Hi Erno,



Thanks for your interest in this matter. It turns out that is a relative pain in the *&^% to upgrade Rails if you've vendored it in your project directory. The culprit? Subversion.



Most books/forums/blogs simply discuss how to originally freeze Rails. But when you go hunting for problems with upgrading Rails that's under Subversion source control - well, you quickly find out you are not alone.



After reading a bunch of posts, and for a number of my own reasons, I decided to no longer vendor Rails, i.e. I simply use the gems that are located in my Ruby installation.



Thanks again, Erno.
