The commit messages (and commits themselves) should be fairly self-explanatory. Thanks for putting together 'mongo-resque'. It came in very handy in our environment!

Cheers,

Thanks for the pull request.

Was there any other need for the change of .mongo= other than for the -r flag to work properly?

I think I would prefer the database object wrapping to happen in bin/resque rather than change the API for setting the database as the semantics describing a mongo database location as a string is not well defined and might be misunderstood.

Nope, it was just because when I was testing out your fork, I found myself wanting to pass in the db name from the command line and when I tried, I got a type error. Personally, in the way that I am using this fork now, I no longer need the -r flag, so feel free to yank this commit. It had no bearing on the others, either, so it could be a clean break. Thanks again for maintaining this fork and If you need any help, I'd be happy to chip in. We are using mongo-resque in a production app that I'm working on here at Teladoc, so I'd be happy to be on the boat. Cheers!
