Rails 2.1 Git Support

June 8th, 2008

I just noticed that script/plugin install now accepts a git:// url protocol. So, why should you use script/plugin install instead of just cloning a repository into your plugins directory? Because using the install command automatically executes the plugin's "install.rb" file. Most plugins don't make use of it, because most plugins don't need to; but for others it can be very important.
