Hmmm. Nope, your not missing anything. Looks like there should be a few more checks added to the task. If the target directory does not exist then the task should do a straight rename since it is the most efficient. If forceoverwrite is true, then the target directory should be deleted and a straight rename performed on the source directory. Otherwise the existing functionality and overwrite policy should be enforced. Does this sound reasonable?

The current <move> replacement appears to be: <move todir="destdir"> <fileset dir="sourcedir"/> </move> but whereas the former command simply renamed the directory, the later copies every single item in the source directory to the destination directory and then deletes the source. This is clearly a much more time consuming task for large directories - I have a 600Mb case at the moment! Am I missing something?
