title: Rails - where to put files that are not part of the deployment
body: <p>I have to do a lot of conditioning of the data that will seed my rails database. This is a one-shot activity before deployment, never used after deployment, but I want to keep the programs I use for it within the projects configuration management (mainly for the sake of an audit trail for where the seed data came from).</p>
  
  <p>Where is the canonical place in a Rails app for such support files that don't form part of the application?</p>
