Dear Gnu Coreutils community,
I would like to contribute to the project a feature I miss a lot in the
`mv` command.
I currently have a working patch but it's clearly not perfect. I would like
to have feedback on it and would like to know if you are willing to accept
this change.
Do you think it's possible?
I usually use GitHub for code review so I'm not sure how things are working
here.
I tried to generate a patch I can send by email to you, I hope this will
help you understand what I'm trying to do.
Thanks for the patch,
however this overlaps too much with existing --backup=numbered functionality.
Can you explain why that doesn't suffice.
Perhaps we might add another --backup=numbered-always mode for example,
but there would need to be good justification for it.
thanks,
Pádraig
