Don't Just Ignore schema.rb!

It’s a long standing practice among many Rails developers to have their version control ignore schema.rb. However this practice is contrary to that recommended by the Rails source itself! As you can see from this commit, DHH himself highly encourages that you check in into version control. This alone should be good reason to pause and consider if we should keep ignoring schema.rb.
