Summary: Hint for subversion users

Initial Comment:
Hi,

the revision based version information used in vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/rails/version.rb causes trouble if subversion is used to manage the rails application. If svn:keywords is set to "Revision" on version.rb the Revision is updated to the local revision. This causes the rspec on rails plugin to fail.

Maybe you can add a hint to the documentation to either disable svn:keywords (Revision) on version.rb or to manually change the REV constant to the original revision (1201 for the 0.7.4 plugin).

best regards
stefan saasen

Message:
No, the problem only occurs if the plugin is installed
without using svn:externals.

The problem is as soon as you install the plugin and the
rails project (including all the plugins) is managed using
Subversion the RSpec Revision will be replaced.

For example:

version.rb in RSPec has Revision 15xx

After installing the plugin the Revision number is set to
whatever is used for the version.rb file in the Rails project.

Message:
I don't understand this. We have set the svn:keywords to "Revision" as you mentioned - in RSpec's own svn. I'm assuming you have installed RSpec as a plugin with svn:externals.

Are you saying that RSpec's version.rb is updated with *your* repository's revision instead of *RSpec's* revision?
