doubt on mv [moving dir using mv]

[parinay]

Hi
I tried following,

                             # mkdir test test1
                             # mv test1 test
                             # ls test/
                             test1
                             #

If I try the same operation from X interface it fails with a proper error
message. Might be the API there be handling this differently. But isn't mv
from command line supposed to fail in above scenario (saying dir exists )?

This is being tried on Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz) with
coreutils-5.2.1-48. Please clear the confusion I have.

your help is highly appreciated.

thanks & regards
