Drop intermediate container and use renaming instead

[aanand]

With the merging of moby/moby#8570, Docker 1.5 will support container renaming. This means we can stop creating an "intermediate container" when recreating containers - their only purpose is to free up the container name while preserving volumes.

This will stop Compose working on Docker <1.5, but I think it's worth it: as well as generally reducing complexity, it'll remove the problem that #516 and #517 attempt to solve.

Why is this not gettin merged?

[dnephin]

I'm going to attempt a PR for this. What do you think about putting this into 1.3 milestone now that we're planning on requiring docker 1.6 ?

I did docker rm $(docker ps -q -f status=exited) to remove stopped containers from containers list docker ps.

Or just docker-compose rm and then docker-compose up.

I did docker rm $(docker ps -q -f)
but i haven't did docker-compose down
then i did docker-compose build and docker-compose up
and that error message was shown
so i've did docker-compose down and docker-compose up again, and it works
