How to setup a cloned Rails project on local machine?

When you clone a Rails project and you want to get it up and running on your computer, you first run bundle install, but what do you do next? Specifically, how do you setup the database? I can get it working using rake db:migrate but this changes the schema.rb file and I don't want to have to commit that to my git history. Are there some rake tasks for doing this or some way of properly doing this? Any insight would be much appreciated!

rake db:create && rake db:schema:load

should create the database specified in config/database.yml for the current environment, and create the tables/indexes specified in db/schema.rb. You probably want to do rake db:test:prepare to set up the test database as well.
