[Rails] Quick question about source control...

[Peter Sumskas]

I may be totally off-track (probably, since I work with windows most
of the time) but couldn't you put in an `ln -s` from
/usr/local/bin/ruby to $HOME/ruby1.8.2/bin/ruby or some variant of
using soft-links to simulate the same structure as you have on your
production environment?
