[OSM-dev] Rails port - current source, and tracking changes

Hi,

    now that the rails port has moved to git, is there a way to find out 
which source the servers are currently running? In the past, checking 
out SVN trunk was not a sure bet because SVN trunk might have contained 
any number of changes that had not yet been deployed. Does the new git 
workflow somehow improve this? Will some variation on

git clone git://git.openstreetmap.org/rails.git

magically yield the "live" version? And is there a way to track changes 
to the live version (as opposed to "track stuff that someone has 
uploaded somewhere which may or may not ever go live")?

I realise that this is less of a git question but more of a "server team 
workflow" question.

Bye
Frederik
