Generator::Commands::Create#file git broken with app generator

#3896

The git support for Generator::Commands::Create#file uses relative_destination. But when doing the initial app generation, the working directory is the parent of the app directory, and from there relative_destination is broken. This results in a pile of error messages like

$ rails fooproj --git
      create  Rakefile
fatal: pathspec 'Rakefile' did not match any files
...
      create  log/test.log
fatal: pathspec 'log/test.log' did not match any files

...not that you really want log/test.log tracked by your VCS, but that's another story.

    this refers to the 2.3-stable branch. That code has been moved around in master and I haven't checked to see if this is applicable.

    I have checked on Rails 3.0 and this is not an issue. Changed milestone to 2.3.6, need to verify.

    @keturn is right,relative destination should be change to absolute destination. we create rails application in parent directory.

    Another issue is, if user want to create rails application with git support, we need init git repository for the newly created rails application.

    This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not been commented on for at least three months.

    The resources of the Rails core team are limited, and so we are asking for your help. If you can still reproduce this error on the 3-0-stable branch or on master, please reply with all of the information you have about it and add "[state:open]" to your comment. This will reopen the ticket for review. Likewise, if you feel that this is a very important feature for Rails to include, please reply with your explanation so we can consider it.

    Thank you for all your contributions, and we hope you will understand this step to focus our efforts where they are most helpful.
