Duplicate README files
Two README files are almost identical:
diff railties/README
railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/templates/README
I looked at the one that seemed most recent:
git log -p railties/README | mate
I synced it with railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/templates/README and made some minor edits along the way.
Then, I replaced railties/README with a sym link to railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/app/templates/README. So, now there's only one README file. Nice!
I also uppercased ruby where appropriate and deleted double-spaces.

Chad WoolleyYou probably don't want a symlink, that's not cross platform.
Doesn't make sense to duplicate them though. One is a template, and the other is a "real" one (for developers?). I think it is fine to just resubmit your patch with no symlink and just keep the generator. People hacking in rails shouldn't need it, and there's many other better resources.

Yup, Symlink is a bad idea. There is a rake task to synchronize both READMEs.

Okay, I attached a new patch file with the symlink deleted and some other minor changes.
If you'd like to apply all the changes I made to the README file in one commit, I also attached a README.diff file with all the differences.José, what's the rake task to synchronize both READMEs? Also, why have two READMEs?
