Subject: [PATCH v4 06/11] replace: bypass the type check if -f option is used
Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2013 09:10:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130903071026.29838.76437.chriscool@tuxfamily.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130903070551.29838.43576.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

If -f option, which means '--force', is used, we can allow an object
to be replaced with one of a different type, as the user should know
what (s)he is doing.
