Yeah, I actually totally munged the live DB right after we went live
(luckily before we told anyone about the site and we had all the data
backed up). I agree that some kind of are-you-sure would be the right
answer. Kind of like 'rm -i' but on by default -- there could be a -f
option to suppress the warning. The gem is open source... I don't
know offhand how to add an interactive prompt to a rake task, but I
suppose it could be added here:
http://github.com/heroku/heroku/blob/master/Rakefile
I'm clearly not getting enough sleep this week, so for now I try to be
quite cautious when I type heroku in particular directories, but
eventually I won't be able to live with that :)
