## Rakefile reload

The Rakefile is only loaded when Guard is starting up or reloading. If you require the Rakefile to be reloaded (e.g. you are developing a Rake task and you want to continuously test its invocation), you're probably after something like this:

```ruby
guard 'rake', :task => 'doit', :run_on_start => false do
watch('Rakefile') {
::Rake::Task.clear
::Rake.application.load_rakefile
'Rakefile'
}
end
```
