------- Comment #3 from s.handgraaf@xxxxxxxxx  2007-06-11 19:01 MST -------
Bug was invalidated on grounds of behaviour, while problem is only partly
behaviour related. Reopend for more solid solution.

POSIX mandates behaviour in a specific way including demand of freedom for own
implementation. http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/mv.html

Also, POSIX does not touch the documentation as mentioned as part of the bug
description.

Since it is high risc to try to use loopholes in POSIX for development, my
suggestion stands to adapt the documentation. mv documentation should reflect
POSIX mandated program behaviour to inform users of the exact default
behaviour.
