In my development workflow, I have a staging and a production app ID on GAE.

In order to switch between them I have to hand edit the appengine-web.xml 
and specify the <application> and the <version> (or do it in the deploy 
dialog).

This feels like it is rife for errors and is rather a pain in the arse. The 
reason is because the servlet container reloads as soon as I edit this file 
and thus my local datastore changes. If I forget to change it back then I'm 
left wondering what is wrong with my database.

What would be nice is if on deployment, the dialog would ask me which 
version and which application id to deploy to and not actually modify my 
appengine-web.xml. Just use what I input as parameters for the deployment.

I'd love to hear thoughts on how everyone here deals with this. I'd even be 
open to some command line tools or anything to help manage this.
