Resolve #7.
This is a minimal version of a possible implementation. For the moment, it only adds a "create" flag to the constructor, as discussed in the issue, and ignores OSErrors from mkdir if the directory already exists in _create_bag(). It does not check whether any of the meta files (bagit.txt, ...) in the bag directory already exist and boldly overwrites them. Thanks to the constructor flag, it does not change the behavior of pybagit, unless explicitly requested.
I think, there are three possible ways to proceed from here:
Nr. 3 could become cumbersome and I'm not sure whether there is any real use case for it.
Any opinions?
