Description

I have to specify a directory for makeRegistry due to https://github.com/mllg/batchtools/issues/237, but I always get a File at path already exists: error if I try to re-run the makeRegistry function. It would be helpful to have an option to overwrite the existing directory

Research direction

Start with the makeRegistry entry point and reproduce the existing-directory failure described in the issue, including the context from issue 237. Trace where the File at path already exists: error is raised, then verify that an overwrite option permits rerunning makeRegistry without affecting the default behavior.
