I recently adopted the file system extension but not as successfully as I'd hoped. I'm the developer for a project where others do most of the content editing - but there's some overlap. I was hoping I could make my changes on my dev server, they could make their changes in production, and I could track all of it with the FS extension and git.
I'm not sure why it happened, but the YAML files generated by 'rake file_system:to_files' order the attributes differently on the two servers. So pages whose attributes are exactly the same generate huge and meaningless git commits each time we go back and forth. (Or would, if I hadn't immediately abandoned that plan.) I've been thinking about changing FS somehow to consistently order attributes, but I haven't had time, so I thought I'd mention this potential gotcha.
