bzr send doesn't warn of file overwrite

[William Fagan]

If you are using bzr send with the -o option to select a output file, bzr won't warn if the command will overwrite a previous file.

[John A Meinel (jameinel)]

So... we could warn but still continue, but at that point you've already overwritten the file. My personal preference would be a flag, like "rm -i" so you would explicitly ask to not overwrite files.

How would you see the UI for this?

[William Fagan (libwilliam-deactivatedaccount)]

I'm thinking send could stick with the --force option like a few of the other commands.

I know with the remove command it will strictly not remove a file if it isn't safe unless you do the --force options.
Or you could always ask for a Y or N response when something tries. I'm not sure if this it is something the bzr UI usually does any where else because I can not think of an example.
