Yeah, I think that closing of that ticket is right. As far as mongrel_rails is concerned, it makes sense to use the --clean option, rather than put it in there to happen by default. (although actually, I'd have --clean be default).
My problem is that I'm using mongrel_cluster_ctl instead of mongrel_rails. The nice feature of mongrel_cluster_ctl here is that you can give it a -c argument which is a directory containing mongrel cluster yml files. And it will do the invoked operation to ALL of those config files. I like this. I want to use it. And mongrel_cluster_ctl's --clean option appears to be broken to me. I guess I should figure out how to fix it and submit a patch? The other problem is that the sample script at resources/mongrel_cluster, which invokes mongrel_cluster_ctl, doesn't invoke the --clean option (which wouldn't work right even if it did, but once it does). So I guess I should fix that and submit a patch too? I'm new to submitting patches for this kind of stuff. Can anyone reccommend patch etiquette/procedure to do this properly? And/or confirm that I'm approaching this sanely? Thanks for the help, all.
