Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-4748:
----------------------------------------
I've marked CB-4578 as a duplicate of this. That bug is mostly the same, though
not quite.
I think the correct behavior between both of them is:
- Fail fast and with a clear error message if the target directory already
exists.
- Kill the behavior where it uses the current directory if the directory is
unspecified. I'm not even sure if that's documented, and it's confusing.
- A bare "cordova create" should show at least an error explaining the correct
syntax.
