[LRUG] requiring one rails environment from another

[Matthew Rudy Jacobs]

I always do this


   - keep my standard database.yml as a database.example.yml
   - keep database.yml out of version control
   - for a dev setup copy database.example.yml -> database.yml

can't remember where I picked this up from
but it seems to work.
