Best practice when doing lots of manual dataset modification?

[tschettervictor]

This is a follow up from a previous issue.

I do lots of cloning + zfs send/recv on my system. But every time I do, I have an issue when the script runs again.

This is due to snapshots being cloned that already exist on the parent etc...

I'm wondering if there is a way to mitigate this without having to delete all the cloned datasets snapshots after cloning it?

Or if perhaps there is a better way of doing things.
