Windows platform fix

[kitofr]

Found a couple of issues and hopefully fixed em in a graceful way.

• _File.absolutepath isn't supported in ruby 1.8.7 so changed that to _File.expandpath due you weren't using any ~ anyhow. (And the gemspec stated it should run on 1.8.7)
• As Open3.popen uses fork that isn't supported on windows I switched to regular back ticks (`)
• The directory sent to _gitrepo? wasn't used in the code. I now cd to that directory before executing the command.
• Ignored *.swp and _*.DSStore files

Hi. Thanks for all of this work. Am I missing a file?

$ rake (in /Users/chad/src/turbulence) rake aborted! no such file to load -- win_rakefile_location_fix /Users/chad/src/turbulence/Rakefile:2:in `<top (required)>' (See full trace by running task with --trace)

[kitofr]

Yes you are... sorry. Apparently I must have missed that one. I just pulled in the latest and fixed some issues. Should hopefully be back on green now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry to be a bummer, but is it still missing or am I doing something wrong?

no such file to load -- win_rakefile_location_fix

Thanks, Chad

Chad, it might be my inexperience with git/fork/pull-request but I think the file should be there. Looking at the commits above "Rakefile_location_fix" adds the file in. I added a more proper loading of that file, hopefully that solves it.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Aha, yes! Sorry I didn't see it. Long day yesterday :) Ruby1.9.2 removes "." from the LOAD_PATH. Will get this in thank you!

[kitofr]

:) Maybe we/you should bump the ruby-version from 1.8.7. Might remove some of my "fixes" like absolute_path => expand_path etc.
