Generating a project in existing folder with .gitignore or readme.md fails...

When generating a project within an existing folder that contains a .gitignore or readme.md causes the cli to only generate the node_modules folder.

Versions

node 6.9.2 & 8.10.0
npm 4.0.5 & 5.6.0
nvm 0.33.2
ng 1.7.3
OSX 10.13.3

Repro steps

This is the exact method I used.

  • Create a repo on github with a node.js .gitignore, readme.md, and the unlicense
  • Clone the repo on your computer.
  • Navigate to the parent directory and run ng new appName --directory=your-cloned-directory
  • Note that only the node_modules folder is created.
  • Then delete the .gitignore & readme.md in your-cloned-directory
  • Rerun ng new command from the parent directory.

Observed behavior

Only creates the node_modules folder and nothing else.

Desired behavior

Display an error when there is a .gitignore file present.
Generate the project without a readme.md when a readme.md is present.

ng new now shows errors when these files already exists.
