I have no idea how to write a test that would cover this, if someone could help me with writing some, I'll happily add them!

This is something from the TODO list:

18.3 prevent file overwriting

Add an option that prevents curl from overwriting existing local files. When used, and there already is an existing file with the target file name (either -O or -o), a number should be appended (and increased if already existing). So that index.html becomes first index.html.1 and then index.html.2 etc.

@jay could I get some help writing some unit tests for this? Sorry if you're the wrong person to ask!

@Hex052 can you please fix the merge issue and force-push an update? Then I can have a look at making a test case or two for this!

I rebased, squashed and took the liberty to force-push.

It struck me that -w "%{filename_effective}" needs a tweak to work with this.
