Indeed. I, too, have felt the need for this, and feel the same way as Ben. Let me see if I can take my first foray into the Cygwin patch submittal wilderness :-).
By the way, what do folks think of tying this to the "-i" functionality?
Currently, "-i" is defined as "prompt before overwriting" (i.e. if the target is *not* present, it still does things silently, else it prompts). Sounds like a fine candidate for "prompt before copying" as well, as in "prompt before overwriting or moving-directories-by-copying"..
