Description

Running "cordova create" twice with the same args results in:

$ cordova create CordovaAppHarness org.apache.appharness CordovaAppHarness
$ cordova create CordovaAppHarness org.apache.appharness 

mkdir: path already exists: /Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-app-harness/CordovaAppHarness/.cordova/hooks/after_build

mkdir: path already exists: /Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-app-harness/CordovaAppHarness/.cordova/hooks/after_compile

mkdir: path already exists: /Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-app-harness/CordovaAppHarness/.cordova/hooks/after_docs

mkdir: path already exists: /Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-app-harness/CordovaAppHarness/.cordova/hooks/after_emulate

mkdir: path already exists: /Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-app-harness/CordovaAppHarness/.cordova/hooks/after_platform_add

mkdir: path already exists: /Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-app-harness/CordovaAppHarness/.cordova/hooks/after_platform_rm

...

The second run should just fail with an error message.
