Git ambiguous SHA1 - A CI box was blowing up and complaining of an ambiguous SHA1 tag when trying to build a project. The 6 character shortened tag was apparently not recognize as unique enough even though nothing else in the git log had the same string. The team got around it by giving it a 7th character for that build but has no idea what could have caused it.
Complex RJS example - Does anyone have suggestions for where to look for good, easy to test complex uses of RJS? What is a good structure for your code and tests?
Replacing Fixture Scenarios - Fixture scenarios are blowing up on a project when trying to use Polonium. Anyone know of a good replacement? Suggestions:

Xray - You can use the Xray Gem to get a java style thread dump when you kill -3 a ruby process. It can be really helpful for figuring out what's causing your thin/mongrel processes to thrash. update: See Steve's Post for more info.
SMTP monitoring: Check out "Receiving E-Mail With Rails by Jason Seifer" in the first issue of Rails Magazine which is available for free. It's a very robust solution, and is really worth the read.
