will not write directly to it when saving changes. Instead it will
first write to a new, temporary, file. If a configuration file already
existed, it will (on Unix systems) try to mirror its permissions to
the new file. Then it will rename the existing file by adding suffix
".old" to its name (e.g. `rclone.conf.old`), if a file with the same
name already exists it will simply be replaced. Next, rclone will rename
the new file to the correct name, before finally cleaning up by deleting
the original file now which has now ".old" suffix to its name. Note that
one side-effect of this is that if you happen to have a file in the same
directory and with the same name as your configuration file, but with
suffix ".old", then rclone will end up deleting this file next time it
updates its configuration file!
the new file. Then it will rename the existing file to a temporary
name as backup. Next, rclone will rename the new file to the correct name,
before finally cleaning up by deleting the backup file.
