Hi,

I think this problem is fundamentally untractable. If you move only some 
files to another directory, it is more obvious that you don't know where 
to put the newly created file (indeed, you might need it in _both_).

Another non-obvious reason to fail is that you actually _want_ the new 
file to be the only one to reside in that directory.

So I think you cannot solve that problem. IOW you have to resolve that 
conflict manually _anyway_.

Ciao,
Dscho
