What should happen if there is duplicate file destination?

My gut says that we should bail out before touching the file system and log out a clear error message.

Is this always what we want to happen? How about adding increments to files like windows does?

duplicate-filename(1).txt
duplicate-filename(2).txt
duplicate-filename(3).txt

Tried it, but it was harder than I thought... maybe learn how to actually use streams! lol

Should be able to point at a directory and rename everything inside it

Should be able to add a comma separated list of extensions to rename so that we can ignore files

Oh god, I'm going to have to write some documentation for this thing, aren't I ... oh well.

Should be able to specify the directory to which all renamed files are moved to output

Currently there is no logging. Need to be able to log to varying degrees controllable by verbosity flags.

Does not work on windows. Nothing is logged, if --DEBUG is enabled, "Cleaning up" is logged.

Also, is the .tmp folder stored in the package or in the cwd?

Currently there are no means of dealing with issues caused by incorrect permissions, need to add this to at least the error handler.

It would be great to have a dry run flag which would mock changes to filesystem without altering it.

this could use mock-fs

not sure if that will interfere with tests though... worth experimenting!!
