Robert Scholte commented on MDEP-480:
-------------------------------------

The description contains an interesting word: scope for artifact or file. Right 
now overwriteRelease, overwriteSnapshot, overwriteIfNewer are all booleans, but 
I think it makes sense to allow the scope here too. So valid values would be: 
- true 
- false
- artifact: (similar to true)
- file
This will keep the number of parameters small.

> 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).
