Fairly early on in 3.2 development, the mv was replaced with link and unlink calls to do the renaming, but as Jesse pointed out, that doesn't handle cross-volume moves. I also pointed this out in 1999: http://www.htdig.org/mail/1999/12/0007.html and Geoff, you confirmed this in 2000: http://www.htdig.org/htdig-dev/2000/02/0003.html I think we have enough bugs to deal with right now without reintroducing bugs we squahed 2 years ago. -- Gilles R.
