When I update my site I generally just trust it's not popular enough  
to matter ;)

That said, Capistrano (formerly Switchtower) is a tool that was  
designed specifically for modifying/updating sites cleanly. You might  
want to look into it.

rake migrate

Note that under a production environment you want rake migrate  
RAILS_ENV=production.

That said, while trunk is cool and great, we're very close to a 4.0  
release, so you may want to hold off until that's ready.
