In an Active Directory environment Windows Explorer was refusing to rename a directory, presumably because the directory was open by another process.
On trying mv under Cygwin to rename the directory, mv seemed to just hang. It was a large directory and mv was actually copying the files to the new named directory (on the same partition.) Does this seem like appropriate behaviour? It was certainly unexpected. I'm pretty sure mv is never supposed to do this on Unix.
