--force : force operation to run
I thought it meant quietly overwrites ... But it is not as I tested..
you are right.
I agree it is worse.
Is there any good way to **force overwrite**
po file can be updated on www-master while building but next cron may
try to overwrite with new po file .. then conflict happens.
I know we need to sync po before commiting to avoid this. But build
system relying on such consistency is not-so-robust.
