i would like an option to mv that would allow for merging of directories. ie:
$ mkdir test/foo $ touch test/foo/A $ mkdir foo $ touch foo/A $ touch foo/B $ mv foo/ test/ mv: cannot overwrite directory `test/foo' i would like an option (-m?) that would allow files in like-named directories to be merged. so in the previous example i would end up with: $ ls test/foo/ A B normal behavior for files would still apply. i have made a few scripts to handle this, but i have often desired such a feature and thought that it might be better implemented in mv rather than a script. this may have been already considered and dismissed for reasons unknown to me. if you could let me know if this sort of option would fit in with the philosophy of mv or not, please let me know. thank you mjk _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
