Comment (by allcaps):
collectstatic --clear prints:
{{{
You have requested to collect static files at the destination
location as specified in your settings:
/Users/allcaps/path/to/project/static
This will DELETE EXISTING FILES!
Are you sure you want to do this?
}}}
The patch changes:
{{{
This will DELETE EXISTING FILES!
Are you sure you want to do this?
}}}
into:
{{{
'This will DELETE ALL FILES in the STATIC_ROOT directory!'
Are you sure you want to do this?
}}}
I'm not a fan of mentioning the unmanaged files.
