This is currently my biggest complaint about Powershell; with the awkwardness
of using the Get-ChildItem cmdlet to query/sort for file properties being
2nd; and Powershell's gratuitously providing you with _any_ non-existant (of
your choice) Property which then will evaluate to NULL being the 3rd
I have not found an equivalent to what you want Copy-Item -verbose will
merely tell you that you've overwritten a "precious" file _after_ the fact.
-Confirm will ask you to validate the request regardless of whether there is
a file to overwrite.
Powershell has given us all the tools but for every day useage there needs
to be some additional functionalithy that provides us non-*nix's with the
safety and convience most of us are use to.
