View Bug #263

Summary: Replacing a component with a directory can mess up object file cache

Difficulty: 2		Version goal: Future
Status: Unassigned		Reported by: Marcus Ramberg
Version found: Ongoing		Severity: Minor

Description
Replacing a component with a directory, or vica versa, may cause a situation where Mason is unable to create the associated object files. Mason must thoroughly search for and unlink (or more likely, rename) old object files/directories when a mkpath fails.
