Why aren't partials a good option?

We are using Rails to serve static templates from a Git repo. We have
template writers who are writing Ditta style templates that are single
sourced. What this means is that they write a template that may be used in
various versions of documentation which will live at different urls, ie
/v2/tem
I also think partials will be problematic because we don't want the
templates themselves to be in the look up path for Rails.

Sounds like some pretty specific requirements for what you need which is a
good candidate for an external gem.

I'm thinking that you may use a app helper for that.
Let's say that you are using erb, you may have something like that:
app/views/
shared/
_foo.html.erb
_bar.html.erb
v1/
some.html.erb
v2/
some.html.erb
You can implement a simple helper like that:
<%= shared 'foo' %>
And
As I understand it, in order to use a partial like being suggested here,
the file has to be in the look up path. This would mean that even under
this approach templates would resolve in ways that I do not intend, since
render uses the view path to find its template candidates.
I have built so
Yeah it is rather specific, although it is fairly trivial to implement.
There is a file bin read in the template renderer, basically all that needs
to happen is that you check if it is a symlink before that and resolve the
symlink before reading the file. My reason for bringing it to the core
