No. I put *my* code in SVN/CVS. The problem that the OP mentioned was
that *his* code was in C:\ruby while his installation was in
C:\Ruby182. When he tried to install 1.8.4, it *defaulted* to C:\ruby
(which is the *real* bad behaviour; it should have defaulted to
1.8.4). Then he did an uninstall and it deleted everything -- without
prompting -- in C:\ruby.

Third-party gems ... if they're that important, I'll make sure I have
a list to bring my install back up to speed, but otherwise I just
reinstall them as I need them.
