Data loss is only going to happen if you go rename(srcDir, srcDir) or rename(srcDir,srcDir/child); nobody has ever reported it. We have to decide whether this is critical enough to get in, or postpone to 1.3. Given this is a last minute change and the changes to the S3FileSystem's rename() operation are significant, delaying to 1.3 may actually be safer. your choice -steve
