I've been working w/ Roots on a few sites and recently we started getting a random and occasional Internal 500 - My first thought was that something related to this: https://github.com/retlehs/roots/issues/120

was going on. We edited and commented out the function per the thread - saved and tested again, and we noticed the same issue - the .htaccess was being updated constantly still. We checked another site not using Roots, and noticed there wasn't a constant rewrite going on.

I'm very curious if Roots is set to rewrite the .htaccess file frequently / regularly? If so why is this? and can we disable it? I think generally it's working fine - but i think the very intermittent 500's we're experiencing come when the rewrite is happening and there appears to be some load on the server, probably causing the rewrite to timeout and not finish completely.

Thanks for your help,

T
