Add an
overwriteparameter toPath.symlink_to.Previously,
FileExistsErrorwas raised if the path already exists. With this newoverwriteparameter, users now have the option to overwrite the existing path with the new symlink. The parameter is added to the end of the signature and defaults toFalseto ensure backward compatibility.The name
overwritewas chosen instead ofexist_okbecause it indicates that the operation is potentially harmful. This also makes it explicit that the existing path is not overwritten by default.Tests, docs and news have been updated accordingly.
