Comment (by jezdez):
Another item for the TODO list Jacob mentioned on IRC:
- change the collectstatic warning message to say something like "This
will overwrite existing files in /home/jacob/myproj/static - are you
sure"? (i.e. actually show STATIC_ROOT there)
Since collectstatic uses the storage backend specified as
`STATICFILES_STORAGE`, `STATIC_ROOT` might not be used at all. In that
case checking if the storage backend is an instance of `FileSystemStorage`
does the trick. IOW, only show STATIC_ROOT if there is a good chance that
the storage actually uses it.
