I have a rails 2.2.2, but recently I receive a project need rails 2.1.2  
environment. So I swith to the project directory to freeze the rails  
version.  
rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel\_2-1-2  
I got a shocked when I script/server, a messsage look like this:  
Rails 2.3.0 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)  
rails 2.30??? not 2.1.2?  
any thought here?

`rake --describe` prints, among other things,

rake rails:freeze:edge  
Lock to latest Edge Rails, for a specific release use RELEASE=1.2.0

So it looks like your TAG is incorrect, and hence ignored.
