How do you keep something in version control, yet have sensitive information redacted at the same time? As for keeping sensitive information version controlled, you could consider a separate repository. But in terms of handling things like database config files that are going to change from server to server you might want to take a look at the advice here: http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#ignore-commit You could potentially keep the production files under version control in a separate repository, then pull them in as part of the deployment procedure. But I think for most people, a version-controlled template does the trick. Kinda like what Randy said. -Mat _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe or change your settings, visit: http://lists.phillyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
