Anyone got a script to share that:

1. Creates a trunk directory
2. Creates a trunk/vendor directory
3. Adds the above to svn
4. Modifies trunk/vendor to use a certain rails revision (i.e. trunk or  
1.1)
5. Runs trunk/vendor/rails/…/bin/rails to generate a rails directory  
skeleton
6. Modifies the svn:ignore for the logs and config/database.yml
7. Moves config/database.yml to config/database.yml.sample
8. Adds a script/reload\_everything.sh.sample script to scripts/ that  
8a. Drops the dev and test database  
8b. Reloads the dev and test database  
8c. Performs migration on the dev and test database  
8d. Runs rake load\_fixtures (to populate the dev database)  
8e. Runs rake to run the tests
9. Ignores script/reload\_everything.sh

I think that’s it. Just wondering if anyone’s done something like  
that before I make my own. That’s generally the process I follow when  
creating a new Rails project.
