Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment:
The fallback to copy+remove happens because shutil.move first checks if the
destination exists and is a directory, if so it moves the source into the
destination, that is, given:
os.mkdir('foo')
os.mkdir('bar')
Then ``shutil.move('foo', 'bar')`` is the same as ``shutil.move('foo',
'bar/foo')``.
On filesystems that are case insensitive this triggers for ``shutil.move('foo',
'FOO')`` as wel, causing a call to ``os.rename('foo', 'FOO/foo')`` and that
fails because you cannot move a folder inside itself.
The attached patch makes the test unconditional (as it should pass always when
the filesystem is case sensitive) and checks if src and dst are the same when
dst is a directory, in that case os.rename is called and we never try to copy.
