It is supposed to be the equivalent of the -B option in GNU Make. It makes Rake act like all the files created by file targets are out of date.

A feature like this would need to be accompanied by changes to the documentation as well as a variety of new unit tests (testing the options parser, file tasks, etc). IMO, you'd need to take this a lot further before it'd be considered for inclusion.

Have you considered just using the clean/clobber tasks to create a rebuild_all task?

I think the option is fine but it does need tests to be merged.
