I used the following command to update the options of watson:

watson config -e

After saving, I get the following error as I exit the editor:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    shutil.move(path, path + ext)

    raise Error("Destination path '%s' already exists" % real_dst)
shutil.Error: Destination path '/home/issam/.config/watson/config.bak/config' already exists

I think watson should force the overwrite.

This is not blocking as I can edit the config file myself with nano/vim.
