Dear Ryan
Thanks for this release!
I got a question: Are you planning a task, User Story, that asks the
user first before deleting the doc directory when running
check_manifest
I use rake and hoe for a lot for web-projects and those web-project all
have a doc-directory. So it is not so userfriendly if running
rake check_manifest
deletes my existing doc dir with a ton of files there.
It would be nice if the user would be asked first if check_manifest
should delete the doc dir or not. I would suggest the same applys for
any other directory that is wanting to be wiped by rake check_manifest.
Thank you for your Feedback.

Dear Ryan
Another thing I do not like is that when I do
rake release VERSION=2.0.1 --trace
then _again_ my doc directory gets wiped without asking me. I need that
directory for other stuff of my web-project. My Documentation of the
project is in a completely different directory.
Any hints how do deal with that?

Dear Ryan
This solved my problem:
Hoe.plugins.delete :clean
will skip the unnecessary deleting of my _doc_ folder that contains
something else then the default hoe installation thinks is there.
Thank you for your awesome work on hoe. I like it.

If you're using git, you might want to check out the hoe-git plugin,
which can use git ls-files to build the manifest.
If you're not using git, then I guess this post isn't very helpful. Sorry 
Ben

No. Hoe will never ask the user anything.
