Sorry to bother you again, even after your detailed reply, but I'm a bit
confused in multiple ways (I guess that makes for multiple bits...).
First, you replied to my post, not my patch v2, but (time-wise) after my
patch v2, so I'm not sure whether your reply applies to v2 as well or
that one is OK.

Second, I took the title of t7001 to mean "mv into subdir" or "mv in and
out subdir" in order to distiguish it from "mv oldname newname", albeit
in English that leaves room from improvement.

Third, various parts of that test are in vastly different styles, and I
haven't found any test writing directions other than "follow what is
there", which leaves several alternatives. (Some use the test-lib repo,
some create their own underneath, some make assumptions about the
contents of "$TEST_DIRECTORY"/../.)

Fourth, t7001-mv is missing any test for "mv -k", and 2 of my 3
additional tests cover cases which work (pass) without the fix, which is
why I kept it separate, being unrelated. Following all your arguments
lead to the conclusion I should squash 2+3 (fix + mark expect_pass) -
until I read your conclusion, which says squash all.

I'm happy to follow any variant ("1+2+3", "1 2+3", "1 2 3", in
increasing order of preference) so there's no need to discuss or explain
this further, just tell me "do x" ;)

Cheers,
Michael
