Improve docs about environment variables overriding

See original GitHub issue

in the docs: " Environment variables defined as a single string (like DB_LOCATION above) will overwrite an existing variable with the same name. "

in code:

   "Can't merge the key: '{key}' because it will override the previous value.",
                            "Only lists and dicts can be merged. The type obtained was: {type}",

Maybe we should add a flag to merge those as “use the first value (possible from the root devenv file)”.

I would be opposed to doing that. You can easily end up in a situation where you don’t know why an environment variable has a given value. And that will be long hours debugging something.

Awesome!

I’ve changed the title of the issue to better reflect the doc change. Would you like to contribute that?

Sure. Unfortunately my response will be delayed. If the condadevenv developers can respond faster, don’t let my delay delay the change.
