I ran into the same problem. I ended up creating a new app,
transferring everything over to it, and killing the old app just
to get a working database.yml file.

One suggestion for the Heroku guys: don't allow users to overwrite or
delete the database.yml file.

As far as I can tell, if you mess up your database.yml, you're dead in
the water unless you have a real recent copy.
I overwrote my database.yml accidentally and the old password didn't
work so my migration failed. In my brilliance, I deleted the
database.yml file hoping a new one would be created or I didn't need
one. Nope. Now I can't seem to revert to an earlier snapshot or access
my
data and I can't help but suspect these problems are tied to this same
file.
