• SR-7835 Swift package manager edit path command returns a file exists symlink error despite cleaning up build directory

Issue Description:

touch Packages/myPackageName

swift package edit myPackageName --path path/toMyPackage

fail

It'd be great if we could be prompted to overwrite the existing symlink (even better, if SwiftPM could realise that the symlink it's trying to create is the one that already exists, which so far as been 100% of cases for me)

For context: This happens when SwiftPM can't find an "edited" dependency, which resets some of its internal state, but doesn't remove the symlinks in Packages.
