Convert_to_parquet fails for datasets with multiple configs

[HuangZhen02]

If the dataset has multiple configs, when using the datasets-cli convert_to_parquet command to avoid issues with the data viewer caused by loading scripts, the conversion process only successfully converts the data corresponding to the first config. When it starts converting the second config, it throws an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Many users have encountered the same issue, which has caused inconvenience.

Thanks for reporting.

I will make the code more robust.

I have opened an issue in the huggingface-hub repo:

I am opening a PR to avoid calling create_branch if the branch already exists.
