Whatever happened to this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00285.html The question was whether "mv a b/" failing when a is a directory and b does not exist, which is a regression from 5.2.1, should be fixed in 5.94. The thread spans month boundaries, but never seemed to reach any solid conclusions. However, I am inclined to believe that rename("a", "b/") is ambiguous of whether it should succeed in the same situation, and that "mv a b/" should succeed if the underlying rename(2) can do so. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
