The same is true for cp:

# cp -rf /ssd/sub1 /ssd/5       -> copy "sub1" as "5"
# cp -rf /ssd/sub1 /ssd/5       -> copy "sub1" in "5"

However you are right. It could be fixed easily adding a switch like
"--script", which force to handle the last part of the destination as
the name of the subvolume, raising an error if it already exists.

"subvolume snapshot" is the only command which suffers of this kind of
problem ?
