I hashed out a patch for mv which is more or less the opposite of the --symbolic-link option for cp. Instead of creating symlinks on the destination before the copy, it creates symlinks on the source after the move. Most of the code was copied from the cp.c and copy.c code. There is one

integer- and stack-overflow fixes for GNU sort
