Hello, I just found a bug in mv: it overwrites files even when --reply=no is given (which should never overwrite existing files according to the documentation).
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test/mvtest> touch 1 2 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test/mvtest> ls 1 2 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test/mvtest> mv --reply=no 1 2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test/mvtest> ls 2 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test/mvtest> Oops, the file "2" was overwritten... :-( BTW: --reply=query and --reply=yes work as expected. I use the following version of mv (SuSE Linux 9.3): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> LC_ALL=C mv --version mv (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0 Written by Mike Parker, David MacKenzie, and Jim Meyering.
