Hi Jim,

The info documentation of mv is inconsistent with its behaviour, as
described in http://bugs.debian.org/343652 :
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/t$ mkdir foo ; touch foo/a
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/t$ ln -s foo bar
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/t$ mv bar/ zork
mv: cannot move `bar/' to `zork': Not a directory

While the mv info page says:

   _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.

Is it a documentation bug, or an mv bug?
