[TYPO3-dev] Your Input On: 6.x Extension Manager

[Stefano Cecere]

Hi Benni

i started using 6.0 and i have just two really nosing problem with EM:

1) the "overwrite" checkbox when uploading an ext: whoever doesn't check 
it? (in 10 years i have always needed to overwirte any ext i upload.. 
and i don't see any benefits in not overwriting)
so, let's make it checked by default

2) .git/.svn folders are now exported in the .zip file, and uploaded.
the download button should prevent any .invisible folder to get zipped in!

thank you and see ya for 6.1!
