### Please describe the problem.
I am trying to import (and then reimport) a directory which I sync to from box.com shared with me folder.
I have used `--duplicate` option to not delete original files upon `import`. But then upon-rerunning `import` command git-annex would error out if file already exists. `--reinject-duplicates` seems to be the option to use, but all those modes are "exclusive" so I cannot use `--duplicate --reinject-duplicates`, and using `--reinject-duplicates` alone would result in removing original files (as without `--duplicates`)
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
7.20190819+git2-g908476a9b-1~ndall+1
### Please provide any additional information below.
my little demo snippet for import with using --duplicate and then both options at the same time:
[[!format sh """
$> mkdir /tmp/d-in /tmp/d-repo && touch /tmp/d-in/file && ( cd /tmp/d-repo && git init && git annex init && for r in 1 2; do echo "Run $r"; ls -l ../d-in && git annex import --duplicate ../d-in/.; done )
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/d-repo/.git/
init ok
(recording state in git...)
Run 1
total 0
-rw------- 1 yoh yoh 0 Oct 14 10:51 file
import ./file ok
(recording state in git...)
Run 2
total 0
-rw------- 1 yoh yoh 0 Oct 14 10:51 file
import ./file
not overwriting existing ./file (is a symlink)
failed
git-annex: import: 1 failed
$> cd d-repo
$> git annex import ../d-in/. --reinject-duplicates --duplicate 2>&1 | head -n 3
Invalid option `--duplicate'
Usage: git-annex COMMAND
"""]]
Or may be there is a better way to establish re-runnable import from a directory workflow?
