Public bug reported:
Yet another rust coreutils incompatibility.
If you mv a directory to another location on the same file system then the
rust-coreutils is *incredibly* slow.
It turns out that this is because it (appears to) stax()s every item in the
directory it is trying to mv. But it only actually needs to check that the
source and destination items are on the same file system.
The GNU mv is very quick (just a few system calls).
