We had an issue in the production server where the files in STATIC_ROOT
were not being replaced by the ones in the individual apps. As a solution
for this we ran collectstatic with the -c option. This worked but what
happened was the the entire static root was erased, this static root was
configured to point to the static files folder in the container app which
resulted in some of the files being permanently deleted because
collectstatic first clears the folder then collects the staticfiles. While
it is true that it was incorrect to set it up this way, it would be ideal
if it wouldn't have deleted the files.
Another problem was that due to some reason the source files had a
timestamp lesser than the destination files, this could have been due to a
caching mechanism but this resulted in the source files not being
collected.
To solve for the above issues we need a overwrite method which would
overwrite the source files no matter what the timestamp and it would not
perform the copy if the source and the destination are the same.
