Hi, When directory/ does not exist, I'd expect this to fail: git mv existing-file directory/ (note the trailing slash, to make it clear that directory/ is a directory). Unix's mv does fail: $ mv existing-file directory/ mv: cannot move `existing-file' to `directory/': Not a directory Instead, "git mv" seems to do the equivalent of git mv existing-file directory # without trailing slash -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
