I don't supposed you know what version in which that feature was first 
declared to be stable?  In other words, is git-1.7-something likely to be new 
enough, or git-1.8-something, or some other version we should be aware of?

We're definitely setting up VMs for this stuff.  And what I'm working on 
right now is the proof-of-concept that we can use chef-solo to install 
private-chef, and precisely what versions of what packages need to be 
installed in order to get us there, so that we can make sure that this is all 
fully baked-in with regards to our cookbooks we're creating.

We hadn't considered the HA issues, however.  I'll have to talk to the 
project management about that.


Thanks again!
