If the theme is missing, admin crashes

See original GitHub issue

(On the latest nightly)

If you remove or rename a theme’s directory and then restart Ghost everything is blank. Template issues like this should probably not crash the backend, letting the user go in and pick a new theme.

I downloaded casper theme, added some js files and then uploaded again. My instance is in Heroku, i think the dyno just deleted the files and now ghost cannot find it. I am getting:

500 The currently active them casper-2 is missing.

I cannot access the admin in order to change it. What can I do?

UPDATE I was able to access the admin using: https://*/ghost/1/, then just activated previous theme.
