Tyler Barrus commented on IO-416:
---------------------------------
Perhaps something like incrementing the file name to the first non-collision
name would suffice. Something like:
{code}
// input: /directory/test.txt is a file that exists
File f = incrementFileName(new File("/directory/test.txt"));
try {
FileUtils.touch(f);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// output: a new file at /directory/test (1).txt
{code}
I have code to do this but need to work to get it in patch form. Once it is in
a patch, I can post it here.
