Subject: [BUG] git mv file directory/ creates the file directory
Date: Mon, 02 Dec 2013 11:04:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vpqli03sh61.fsf@anie.imag.fr> (raw)
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
