How is the vendor/rails path added? I'm using fast cgi. I have two rails directories, one with edge, and one without. They both display the same result with rails -v. I also added a 'raise' to to_xml, and it didn't see it. I'm assuming rails -v will tell me the build number. I’ve installed edge rails, but not seeing it being used.

Once you save and quit the editor, the new property values will be set. A more user friendly method of setting svn:externals is:

svn propedit svn:externals vendor/

This will fire up whatever editor is stored in $SVN_EDITOR, where you can add your externals. Once you save and quit the editor, the new property values will be set.

It's a good point though, doing <code>ruby vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails .</code> from your vendor directory... though it could leave some unnecessary folders lying around from the previous ver of rails. stormville: sure, that will work, as long as your project isn’t in SVN itself… otherwise you’re checking out the Rails repo in the middle of your own repo.

I could only get it to work with the following: <code>svn propset svn:externals "rails http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk vendor/rails" vendor </code> I'm new to svn, is that correct, or did I do something bad?
