Option 5: Directly writing to the Ancestry string field

• In the form:

    <%= f.select :ancestry, [['- New Primary Category -', '/']] + Category.all.map{ |category| [category.name, "#{category.ancestry}#{category.id}/"] } %>

And that's literally it. This syntax is for the :materialized_path2 format.
