The main reason is to make bisect easier.
In some points, we have a lot of git dependencies. Since we don't have
the information of which commit we are referring to, bundler get the
latest commit of the master branch of the dependency. This sometimes
returns a version that is not compatible with Rails anymore, making the
tests fail and the harder to identify the commit that introduced a bug.
Also this will make sure that a contributor will always get a set of
dependencies that are passing with our tests.
In our CI server we delete the lock file to make sure we are always
testing against the newest release of our dependencies.
RDoc autolinks the word "Rails" to the doc page for the Rails module.
But README.rdoc is displayed in the home page at GitHub and the slashes
are visible there, which is weird. We leave by now the slashes off in
the file, and generate a second file for the API with them.
Resolved all the conflicts since 2.3.0 -> HEAD. Following is a list
of commits that could not be applied cleanly or are obviated with the
abstract_controller refactor. They all need to be revisited to ensure
that fixes made in 2.3 do not reappear in 3.0:
2259ecf368e6a6715966f69216e3ee86bf1a82a7
AR not available
* This will be reimplemented with ActionORM or equivalent
06182ea02e92afad579998aa80144588e8865ac3
implicitly rendering a js response should not use the default layout
[#1844 state:resolved]
* This will be handled generically
893e9eb99504705419ad6edac14d00e71cef5f12
Improve view rendering performance in development mode and reinstate
template recompiling in production [#1909 state:resolved]
* We will need to reimplement rails-dev-boost on top of the refactor;
the changes here are very implementation specific and cannot be
cleanly applied. The following commits are implicated:

workaround for picking layouts based on wrong view_paths
[#1974 state:resolved]
* The specifics of this commit no longer apply. Since it is a two-line
commit, we will reimplement this change.
8c5cc66a831aadb159f3daaffa4208064c30af0e
make action_controller/layouts pick templates from the current instance's
view_paths instead of the class view_paths [#1974 state:resolved]
* This does not apply at all. It should be trivial to apply the feature
to the reimplemented ActionController::Base.
87e8b162463f13bd50d27398f020769460a770e3
fix HTML fallback for explicit templates [#2052 state:resolved]
* There were a number of patches related to this that simply compounded
each other. Basically none of them apply cleanly, and the underlying
issue needs to be revisited. After discussing the underlying problem
with Koz, we will defer these fixes for further discussion.
