Implement the `--orig` command (#4)
Implemented the simple version of the proposal for feature #4.
This should resolve simple file conflicts while stowing by moving them to an .orig copy in the file location and then symlinking the target to the stow.
Added bonus: when using --orig with an unstow, it restores those .orig files back, so stow + unstow should leave the host filesystem untouched. This has no effect on unstow file conflicts.
I didn't need the flexibility of supplying the extension as another arg, or copying the backups to a different dir (as described in a further comment), but I'll be happy to implement if that feature has more demand!
Coverage increased (+0.2%) to 86.465% when pulling 613599377bc56f2627ab6b1a3040471453082471 on H3mul:feature-4-orig-command into 4ef5eca4a9d107b24e712bb4c2c91f47e7e0fb85 on aspiers:master.
Thanks for this! It would be really useful to have this ability to ignore conflicts, especially for people like me who manage their dotfiles with stow :-)
however, I would have 2 remarks:
- Would it be possible to name this option
--backup, instead of--orig? There are at least 2 good old unix tools (see cp and mv) that use this syntax and as the goal is the same it would probably be better to use the same naming. - In the same idea of following the way
cpandmvwork, we could use the~suffix instead of.origfor renaming files
