Sh fully echoes commands which error exit

With this rakefile: ``` ruby task :default do sh 'echo', '; rm -rf .' end ``` when run: ``` $ rake echo ; rm -rf . ; rm -rf ....

Sh fully echoes commands which error exit

import [filename] with task [filename] causes both to execute TWICE?

Hi, we can’t work on examples that are sexually explicit. It’s not appropriate for users of rake looking for big fixes to be force to read such things

Rake fails to re-run file task if file content changes but has timestamp older than target

Rake was designed to have the behavior of `make` but be written in Ruby. Changing from timestamp to checksum could break behavior of existing rake workflows so I find it...

[REGRESSION] FileList['[A-Z]*'] matches files starting with lower case character on default OS X file system using Ruby 2.2

Rake not executing some tasks, gives "Invoke <task>s (first_time, not_needed)"

Allow spaces between arguments in Rake task

Allow cleaning namespaces.

Allow cleaning namespaces.

… so I'm for it. Also, there's only one method in Rake that has `get` in it, which is why I prefer `[]`.

Allow cleaning namespaces.

That one is on a `Rake::Namespace` instance, the one I propose would be on the `Rake::Namespace` class. For example: ``` ruby namespace :n do task :t do puts 'work' end...
