Severity: normal

This bug is related to #121776 and to #122233.

# mkdir bla
# ln -s bla/ bli
# mv bli/ blu
mv: cannot move `bli/' to `blu': Not a directory

As far as I understand the info page it should rename the real directory
"bla" to "blu" instead:

       _Warning_: If you try to move a symlink that points to a
                  directory, and you specify the symlink with a
                  trailing slash, then `mv' doesn't move the
                  symlink but instead moves the directory
                  referenced by the symlink.
