Benson Margulies commented on MDEP-480:
---------------------------------------
Jonathan Volfson and I are working on this. I wanted to state the original
'mission' of this patch more carefully and see if the community is comfortable:
Consider a artifact (g:a) that has multiple files, either via classifiers or by
type. Consider a directory on disk that contains _some_ of the files for this
artifact. The effect of this flag is to allow the plugin to deliver the missing
files without overwriting any existing files.

> and unpack

> There should be an option to prevent file overwrite when extracting files.
> This option is very helpful when unpack or unpack-dependencies happens after
> process-resouce phase.
> Currently, there is overwriteRelease, overwriteSnapshot, overwriteIfNewer.
> But they all work on the artifact scope (that means decide if a whole
> artifact should overwrite), not files scope (if a file should overwrite an
> existing file).
