I'll fix that failure, likely tomorrow. Looks like the target folder for the template doesn't exist, because git doesn't pick it up thinking it's empty now that the only file that would be there is gitignored. I've got that folder locally, so my tests went through fine. I'll look into either adding a dummy file or making Rake create the folder structure.

The Rake job will now create the folder structure. This should be ready for review

you should probably unsneak the chef-apply stuff since that can definitely go, the other stuff i have no idea about, but tim seems to have some concerns

@tas50 I understand you had worries about the approach I'm proposing? How can I make this awesome?

[bobchaos]

as discussed during triage, I added a commit to properly remove the original file prior to gitignoring it,
