Well, I didn't expect --reply=no to override the -i; I had thought
(without reading the documentation) that --reply applied to the
questions that -i prompted.
Now I see that for this specific case what I was doing was equivalent
to 'mv a/foo b/foo' since b/foo is writable.
It would have been nice if '-i --reply=no' did what '-u' does -- but
now that I have read the documentation I can see why that isn't so.
So the next question I have is: why does 'mv -i -u' prompt me? :-)
Tim.
