Having trouble implementing. Any tips?

The above has not worked for me at all. I am using Mark's solution: http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/wordpress-local-dev-tips/

@leoken @jordanboston Never saw any notification for your comments. Here is the explanation I wrote http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/53014/1521

I understand how you can make sure local-config.php doesn't get on the servers by adding it to the gitignore file, but how do you keep the dev and production config files from entering git?

@LucAwater I don't gitignore it, its placed one directory above WordPress root which is essentially outside (one level up) of GIT repo since GIT repo is WP root.

@ashfame thanks for the technique and writeup. What's the reason behind putting default values for the keys and salts right in wp-config.php? If they do get used, isn't that a security risk?

@kedmundson Its always advisable to add your own set of keys. I just threw defaults in, so that if someone doesn't there is atleast something defined. It's no more risky than not having any keys defined I suppose. I haven't checked how WP handles when they are not defined.
