Hi, I just started a project with Rails, and am using Git. I thought of keeping the edge of Rails in vendor/rails, especially since I can do so pretty easily with a submodule. However, I wanted to ask how stable the edge usually is? I mean some projects are fairly stable because they’re not pushed until they pass the tests. I didn’t know if it is that way for rails or not. Thanks, Brandon ---

A patch that has failing (or causes existing tests to fail) would not be committed. Occasionally a change might be committed that causes failures with a combination of circumstances that the core member committing the patch didn’t have access to (eg change X breaks stuff on Windows). When it comes to new features or additions, sometimes it takes a few stabs at it to get things right. If I was running a project on edge I’d certainly keep a close eye on what changes were going in.
