Rails - Dec 2005 - Switchtoer and and file://

I might be a bit mistaken but if the SVN repo resides on the box which
you are deploying to should you not be able to use file:/// for the
set :respository in your recipe?

Or am I misunderstanding how the checkout occurs on the deployment box?

I just remembered--a local svn invocation is used to determine what  
the current revision is, so that a commit performed in the middle of  
a deployment won''t get boxes out of sync. Thus, the repo needs to be  
accessible both from the remote host, as well as the host that you  
are deploying from.
