Whoops, you're right. I must have had Radiant on the brain.

and that part hasn't even been started yet :) I just removed those  
words from the github description, sorry about the confusion.

It doesn't do that yet, but it looks like where I'll be taking it the  
next time I have a few minutes to work on it. It's actually the  
presence of a working `git` command in your PATH that determines git  
or http mode.

If you've already installed extensions as submodules and then install  
Ray you'll be able to add more extensions as submodules (they'll be  
global to your project just like the others you added), except you can  
roll it all up in to one handy command, i.e. rake  
ray:extension:install name=mailer restart=passsenger – of course it  
won't do that today but within the next day it should be working that  
way.

Pretty soon after that I'll be adding ray:update,  
ray:extension:update:all and ray:extension:update name=mailer commands  
and I'll make sure these work off submodules if you've got your  
extensions (even ray) installed that way.

Thanks for the feedback.
