I removed edge-rails from a project, git rm, committed and pushed the  
revised project to the shared repository, and then git pulled it onto my  
Windows XPpro laptop.

Both the original host and my laptop have Rails-2.2.0RC1 installed. The  
Gem environment is:

$ rails --version  
Rails 2.2.0

$ gem env  
RubyGems Environment:

- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.1
- RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i386-cygwin]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

As you can see, I have the cygwin environment on my laptop.

Now, when I try and run rake or start the mongrel server script I see  
this error:

$ rake rails:unfreeze  
(in /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/byrnejb/My Documents/My  
Projects/ca.harte

This shows that despite removing vendor/rails my laptop installation is  
still trying to load from it. How do I fix this?

Remove the directory ./vendor/rails

Problem solved!
