Re: Um... How do you rename a file?

I don't understand why you rule out movePath:toPath? It seem to me that
it is the equivalent of a "mv" shell command, which is a rename
operation, as well as a move operation. Isn't it obvious that
"destination must not yet exist", if you're going to rename a file?
