Good question. First of all, whether the new file exists does not matter. The 
contents of an existing config file will be preserved. The question is what 
will happen if a key is about to be moved from one file/group/key to another 
one, while the destination file/group/key already exists. Currently it 
overwrites it, but I will probably make it so that the key will be ignored if 
the desitnation key already exists.

Maybe with an option to override that on a key to key basis, but only if 
someone can point me to a case where that is needed.

Cheers,
Waldo
