Ideally something that works as updater only (doesn't touch nor change
modification time if the contents is the same)

[Pharo-users] overriding FileReference>>copyTo: behavior

[Peter Uhnak]

Hi,

is there an API to copy a file that will override the target destination if
it already exists? I was quite surprised that #copyTo: (and #copyAllTo:)
will throw up when the target file already exists.

Do I need to explicitly remove the file before copying / copy the contents
instead?

Thanks,
Peter
