Lots of people are scratching there head over why they cannot
install rails plugins using git.
I'm working with Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3.2. And git is a pretty natural
for working with version control.
So I wanted to pull from my own respository, but kept getting
a error on tryping to do the install.
sin-gwest-laptop:testjq gwest$ ruby script/plugin --verbose install git://github.com/glennswest/activejquery.git
Plugins will be installed using http
Plugin not found: ["git://github.com/glennswest/activejquery.git"]
#<TypeError: can't convert Array into String>
Come to find out, this is a known but as the mkdir_p call has changed its
return parameter in Ruby 1.9 and that messes up the install of git plugins
unless you do the patch
