I don't see a problem with this.  You explicitly specify where to
import, trunk in this case, so you get what you ask for.

It may be a matter of preference.  I know many UNIX systems are set up
so that cp is aliased to cp -i, and rm to rm -i etc..  I just plain
*hate* this.  If I'm not sure about what will happen, I can easily
enough specify the -i myself (or --check-only).
