need a safe way to truncate local datastore

[jbenet]

rm -rf $IPFS_DIR/datastore will break things

[whyrusleeping]

just yesterday i was thinking we needed an ipfs db reset command

@jbenet what problems exactly would just deleting the datastore directory cause?

[jbenet]

Depends on whether we store keys in it that we expect for normal operation.

this would still be nice to have:

$ ipfs repo reset
Are you sure you want to delete all of your ipfs data? [y/N]

[whyrusleeping]

this could essentially just be:

for key in node.Blockstore.KeysChan() {
    node.Blockstore.Delete(key)
}
