you apparently didn't see what I wrote on IRC the moment when I saw your
patch (on Jul 6):
18:33:07 <serg> joro: hey, I wasn't serious when I said
"dont-overwrite-files-if-data-directory-is-current-database"
:) That was an attempt to clarify the semantics, *not* a
suggestion to have an option with the name that long!
Please, rename it to something decent, about 20-30 characters long
The patch itself is good
ok to push but for heavens sake, rename this variable :)
