Hello Hello,

Hope everyone's weekend was swell and I hope that people stopped  
playing with their computers for at least 15 minutes to enjoy the nice  
day we had on sunday (torontians - I'm looking at you)

anyway...

I'm moving my progress with CakePHP into the system bit by bit now and  
I realized that maybe... I don't want to commit some configuration  
files that contain sensitive information (for instance database  
connection info)

Should I leave it out and write instructions on getting it configured?  
Becuase as I udnerstand it you should be able to co a working copy of  
the site and have it run on your own system/environment.

Any ideas? (I'm going to leave it out for now, but I'm curious how  
svn'ers handle this type of situation)
