It appears the rake themes:install task copies all files to the limechat themes folder and then symlinks the css and yaml files into the limechat themes folder.
What is the need to copy the folders (and Rakefile and README.mdown files) to the limechat themes folder? Can you not just symlink the css and yaml files to your git folder clone, which is where the rake task is being executed from?
