Hi,
No, you aren't missing anything. Out of an abundance of caution, Fetch doesn't overwrite local files when it downloads, unless you're doing a mirror download and the downloaded file is newer. Unfortunately there's no way currently change this behavior.
Thanks,

Could you consider that as an option? It's getting a bit annoying - I either have to setup mirrors for every folder I work in, which seems overly-baroque or copy everything into a temp directory and then use Finder to overwrite things. It's even sillier, because I'm writing to a directory that's under git control, so I can always undo my mistakes anyhow...

Yes, I will definitely think about making it an option in a future release.
Thanks for the feedback,

I can't figure it out. I have a local folder (git repo) and I want to drag an updated file in. I tried option/cmd/shift-dragging and no matter what rather than overwriting the existing file I get the dreaded "filename 1.js" result. I assume I'm missing something really, really obvious?
