Don't delete preexisting files with :as 'file (data-loss)

[josephmturner]

I think deleting the temp file makes sense, but existing files should be left alone.

Thanks. I want to release this fix in a v0.7.1, but since v0.8-pre is already pushed, I'm not sure if we can do that for GNU ELPA without updating the package definition to pull from a stable branch. I've emailed Stefan Monnier asking about the best way to handle it.

[josephmturner]

I see that 0.7.1 was pushed. What did you learn with Stefan?

[alphapapa]

Apparently I learned that I am forgetful, as I forgot to fix this bug after talking with him. :) ELPA now pulls from the stable branch, which allows stable bug-fix releases to be made independently of master. I'll fix this soon...

[josephmturner]

All good :) I figured that a separate stable branch would be the solution.

Thanks for reminding me about this.
