I'm curious on the best practice to remedy this situation...

I created a habtm migration but forgot the :id => false

I ran the migration (rake db:migrate)

I tried to run my tests and then go the error that made me realize I forgot
the :id => false.

The question is how do I back out my changes?

Typically I do rake db:migrate VERSION=0
But that  also gave me the same error about "Primary key is not allowed in a
has_and_belongs_to_many join table"

So I then fired up dbconsole and manually dropped the table.

But now I even if I run rake db:migrate the join table isn't created -
probably because it 'think' it had run it previously.

I also can't run db:migrate VERSION=0, since it tries to call the drop table
on the table that I manually dropped.

I managed to get things working by commented out my drop_table command in my
migration and then running db:migrate VERSION=0, then doing rake db:migrate
and now I'm ok, but I'd think there would have been easier approach to fix
things?
