Comment:

 In [changeset:"41737"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41737"
 REST API: Return 409 status when attempting to create an existing term.

 Fixes an issue where submitting a well-formed request to create a term
 inappropriately returns a 500 error status if that term already exists.
 HTTP 5xx error codes should be reserved for unexpected server errors, so
 "409 Conflict" is a more appropriate response.

 Props alibasheer, guzzilar, shooper.
 Fixes #41370.
