ocm transfer componentversions --enforce --overwrite doesn't work as expected

[hilmarf]

What happened:

When transfering component versions, it's not clear what the settings do.

1. the synopsis: ocm transfer componentversions [<options>] {<component-reference>} <target> uses the term: <options> but down below are only Aliases and Flags listed.

2. Options are ambiguous...

Option	Description
--enforce	enforce transport as if target version were not present
-f, --overwrite	overwrite existing component versions

3. Neither --enforce nor -f, --overwrite does respect --copy-resources

What you expected to happen:

When using the options: --enforce --overwrite --copy-local-resources --copy-resources --copy-sources I would expect that:

• the component versions are transferred, regardless if there are already some with the same version or not
• all local resources are transferred, regardless if there are already some with the same version or not
• all resources are transferred, regardless if there are already some with the same version or not
• all sources are transferred, regardless if there are already some with the same version or not

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

See the documentation with ocm transfer componentversions --help

Run the following command twice:

ocm transfer componentversions --enforce --overwrite --copy-local-resources --copy-resources --copy-sources .\docker-hello-tiny ocm-oci-test.repository.foo.bar

Anything else we need to know:

Definition of done:

• Flags is renamed to: Options
• Simplify <options> and keep only: -f, --force
• When -f or --force is set everything (component versions, local resources, resources, sources) is transferred again completely. In case of failures an error is shown.
