Proper use of html_safe

Let's look at an innocuous piece of ruby. Consider some view code showing a user's name and phone number:

"#{first_name} #{last_name} #{phone}"

Great - this is very succinct, readable, and can easily be extracted to a method in a

# this include won't work for some reason:
# include Capistrano::Git::DefaultStrategy

module SubmoduleStrategy

  # check for a .git directory
  def test
    test! " [ -d #{repo_path}/.git ] "

User.where("name = #{params[:search][:name]}")
