I'm inclined to agree. Outputting a warning just because we did what the user asked us to is unnecessarily chatty. When I looked into it, though, it seems that "git mv" is somewhat neglected, and this trival one-line patch turned into a 5-patch series of fixes. [1/5]: docs: mention "-k" for both forms of "git mv" [2/5]: mv: honor --verbose flag [3/5]: mv: make non-directory destination error more clear [4/5]: mv: improve overwrite warning [5/5]: mv: be quiet about overwriting -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
