Hi there!
I have `revision: stable` in my `containers/app.yml` which currently resolves to v2.3.8. I am getting an error when trying to rebuild the container:
```plaintext
I, [2019-12-24T17:46:51.163113 #1] INFO -- : > cd /var/www/discourse && find /var/www/discourse ! -user discourse -exec chown discourse {} \+
chown: cannot dereference '/var/www/discourse/public/plugins/discourse-internet-explorer': No such file or directory
```
It looks like the `discourse-internet-explorer` plugin was introduced in the v2.4.0 beta release, so it makes sense why it’s missing in 2.3.8, but it’s not clear to me why the `chown` is expecting it to be there. I was able to resolve by changing to `revision: tests-passed` but figured I would raise the issue as it was pretty serious blocker for me trying to upgrade to the latest stable version.

Yes we need to fix this problem for stable @eviltrout.

Hmm, I didn’t add anything like this!
@Falco could this be in the base image you updated somehow?

Now that you mention it may be related. Images are always built using tests-passed. So I think the command to revert back to an old git commit is making chown confused / leaving a broken symlink ?

It looks like the error is because that file is normally ignored due to `.gitignore` which meant if you checked out stable on top of tests-passed it would not work. I fixed that.
Another wild error appeared! We update bundler and the version in our stable Gemfile.lock was too old. I updated that too.
Things seem to be working now.
