My understanding from reading mv --help is that mv -i --reply=no
should not overwrite the DEST file if it already exists. Am I
misinterpreting the documentation, or is this a software bug?
address@hidden:~/tmp$ touch foo bar
address@hidden:~/tmp$ mv -i --reply=no foo bar
address@hidden:~/tmp$ ls
bar
address@hidden:~/tmp$ mv --version
mv (coreutils) 5.0.91
