add all files also if .ptp-sync exists #47

Closed rolandschulz closed 13 years ago

rolandschulz commented 13 years ago

currently if a .ptp-sync folder already exists we don't add any files. This made sense when we were still using .git to be safe. But now this might not be the best approach anymore. E.g. if the user deletes his local project and recreates it than the .ptp-sync still exists from the last (deleted) project. Than none of the files are added.

should we just delete .ptp-sync if it exists?

Files added from the previous project are still there, though. So there are two viewpoints. On one hand, the current behavior is inconsistent. The user has to know whether the directory points to an old project, since this affects the behavior of the wizard. On the other hand, this can be seen as a feature because we maintain the user's prior settings. This "feature" will be even more beneficial later when we allow the user to tweak the files to be tracked. So I think we should not change this behavior.
