Though not quite as good as swapping the file contents, there's
another method that's almost and good but more portable. Write out
your new file to the same folder but with a temporary file name (just
make up one that doesn't already exist). Then, when that's done
successfully, rename the old file to a different temporary name, name
your new file to its proper name, and delete the old file.
This will break aliases.
