While working on some front end optimizations for a venture of mine I went on the lookout for a better bundling strategy then that provided with the default rails stack. While rails does provide bundling of CSS and Javascript it does not support minification. Which in my opinion is a huge win for site performance, and a less needed feature for this particular project; but a nice to have is the concept of bundles.

Myself I am a huge fan of Git and I use it for everything, even when I work on projects in other revision control systems I use things like git-svn and git-p4 to push to those systems...
