So basically you want to add an option to continue writing the
property here, instead of returning?
if (node.hasProperty(name)
&& !node.getProperty(name).isNew()) {
return;
}
That looks simple enough, I think you'd just need to add an
isPropertyOverwrite() method to ImportOptions and its implementations,
and in the ImportOperation class (servlets.post bundle) set that
option according to a request parameter.
ImportOptions of part of a public API but hasn't been released yet, so
I think we can still change it.

I'd be +1 on adding that feature if someone (hint, hint ;-) can
provide a patch including tests.
