mv: improve overwrite warning
When we try to "git mv" over an existing file, the error message is fairly informative: $ git mv one two fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=two When the user forces the overwrite, we give a warning: $ git mv -f one two warning: destination exists; will overwrite! This is less informative, but still sufficient in the simple rename case, as there is only one rename happening. But when moving files from one directory to another, it becomes useless: $ mkdir three $ touch one two three/one $ git add . $ git mv one two three fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=three/one $ git mv -f one two three warning: destination exists; will overwrite! The first message is helpful, but the second one gives us no clue about what was overwritten. Let's mention the name of the destination file: $ git mv -f one two three warning: overwriting 'three/one' Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
