Merging directory with (F6 | Move) does copy instead of rename

[guanx]

Moving a directory $dir into a directory containing a subdir with the same name as $dir does copy $dir's content instead of first trying a "rename".

For example:
├── dir1
│   └── file
└── dir2

└── dir1

Then "(F6 | Move) /dir1 /dir2" will copy "file" even when "dir1" and "dir2/dir1" are on the same filesystem.

This problem comes from the code
copy_dir_dir (...)
{
...

if (mc_stat (d, &buf))
{

/* Here the dir doesn't exist : make it ! */
if (move_over)

...
}
i.e., it does not try to "move" or "rename" when merging two dirs with the same name.

Looks like duplicate of #20.

Replying to andrew_b:

Yes, indeed!
