Though this may only work (presuming you're depending on the rename to
be atomic) if you can guarantee that the two directories are on the
same filesystem. If we were going to do this from scratch, you could
also just use a naming convention, i.e. somename.tmp gets renamed as
somename.new when it's ready.
Though this may be being a bit too defensive.
