So, I worked around this by just symlinking my dev version of rspec into 
the gems dir.  This worked but now all the specs fail with a 
SQLite3::SQLException.

When you work on rspec-rails how do you run the specs just for that?  I 
must have something set up wrong...

The first time I tried to run the specs I was told that 
rspec-dev/example_rails_app/spec/spec_helper didn't exist.  I noticed 
that this file is being excluded in the repo by .gitignore so I made my 
own with the 'generate rspec' command.  Do I need something custom in 
that file to allow me to run the specs in 
rspec-dev/example_rails_app/vendor/plugins/rspec-rails?

Sorry for all my questions, I'm just having a hard time getting these to 
run outside of the pre_commit task.

Thanks in advance,
Ben
