a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Install ffmpeg and gifsicle.

ffmpeg converts from mov to gif and gifsicle optmises the gif so it isn't HUGE.

# A bug was introduced in rails in 7f1a666d causing the whole application cache
# to be cleared everytime a precompile is run, but it is not neccesary and just
# slows down precompiling.
#
# Secondary consequences are the clearing of the whole cache, which if using

# This is already fixed in sprockets-rails for rails 4, but we patch here for
