I'll run some tests and let you know the outcome.

In most cases it will not overwrite it.
If it is going to it will warn you with a message.
Why it overwrote it with a blank file is a mystery to me, The code specifically
checks to see if the file exists.
What options (pyvcp I bet) did you select?
If we can figure out the sequence we can fix that bug.
That warning is not printed on the file because it is not true.
The file 'could be' overwritten if you select a pyvcp or classicladder option.
But stepconf should ask you if this is ok - if you ignore the warning - not
much we can do to fix that :)
The reason this is so complicated is actually AXIS's fault but that another
story.
As for using GIT to keep track of files - yes that would work great but,
what new user is going to learn about git just to configure the machine?
