The previous commit c57f628 (mv: let 'git mv file no-such-dir/' error out)
relies on that rename("src", "dst/") fails if directory dst does not
exist (note the trailing slash). This does not work as expected on Windows:
This rename() call is successful. Insert an explicit check for this case.
This changes the error message from
$ git mv file no-such-dir/
fatal: renaming 'file' failed: Not a directory
to
$ git mv file no-such-dir/
fatal: destination directory does not exist, source=file, destination=no-such-dir/
