If the patch dir is a symlink, overwrite the folder to which it points instead of removing the symlink.
For further explanation: I have several git worktrees that I use to keep different projects checked out at the same time. In there, I usually keep a folder named
bsp-patches
pointing to the BSP patch directory to save my from typing the whole path all over again (which especially in Yocto projects can still take a lot of tab key presses). So I'd only like to doumpf tag -fp bsp-patches/
.
