Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
"directory name.Yet a" needs spaces after '.'.
The text is decent English and clear enough sentence by sentence, but the
reality and hence the text as a whole is confusing.
I wonder if it would be possible to make a little table
dest
----
Src file empty-dir non-empty-dir
---- -----------------------------------------
file | | |
dir
with the behavior for each combination indicated, 'success' or 'OSError', with
two lines prefixed with Unix, Win where they differ. Then the differences would
be much more obvious.
(A separate issue: Patch says that Windows currently raises a different error
in one situation. I think it would be better -- in a future version -- if that
were caught and reraised as OSError also.)
