$ mv -i out blah

Did not prompt. Only does so if destination exists...?

Ah, I see. When overwriting, mv -i does not prompt for the top level
file listed on the command line.

But that's not what this is doing.

The above will only attempt a rename if the user passes the option -f.
That is the only instance of rename() in the program. So the effect of
the "fix" was to disable rename() entirely and always use the
copy-and-delete codepath for everything.

Ah, I see: mv isn't doing -f right either, because it only falls back to
the copy version when errno is EXDEV, not because it couldn't write to
the destination and -f needs to remove it and try again. Except rename
does oerwrite, so it needs to check first... hmmm...

I'll fiddle with it.
