Description Serge van den Boom 2002-06-15 03:20:01 UTC 
When moving a directory to another filesystem, /bin/mv executes /bin/cp
and /bin/mv, without '--', so that filenames starting with '-' are
interpreted as options to /bin/cp and /bin/mv.

How-To-Repeat: mkdir -- -v
mv -- -v /tmp  # where /tmp is on another filesystem

This seems reasonable to me, but I'm wondering if the standards 
have anything to say about it.

been unfrozen by then). Thanks for the report and patch.
