Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5
Severity: normal
hoi :)
I tried to move all files from one directory tree into another tree with
a similiar directory structure. But "mv" gave up, complaining about
"cannot move into own subdirectory", which confused me.
Here a simple sequence for reproduction:
$ mkdir -p 1/a/b 2/a/c
$ mv 1/a 2/
mv: cannot move `1/a' to a subdirectory of itself, `2/a'
$ rmdir 2/a/c
$ mv 1/a 2/
$
I expected mv to move 1/a/b to 2/a/b and then remove 1/a
(no need to move 1/a, as 2/a already existed)
Thank you for any help.
