    "@schematics/angular": "^0.4.5",

Repro steps

Run a schematic with a file called test.txt

tree.rename('test.txt', 'other.txt');
tree.create('test.txt', 'content');

This will fail saying error! test.txt already exists.

Also the same happens, when I use apply url, that generates a previously renamed file.

tree.rename('test.txt', 'other.txt');
apply(url('./_files'), ...)

The log given by the failure

error! filename already exists.

Desired functionality

It should be possible to create a file that was previously deleted or renamed.

Mention any other details that might be useful

Any news about this issue? I am facing the same issue with tree.delete, files don't actually get deleted. (#726)
