mv: fix data loss with repeated source dir and same destination
commit v8.23-31-g90aa291 failed to consider this case,
where the previous rename has failed, thus causing the
following to remove the specified directory:
mv dir dir dir
* src/copy.c (copy_internal): Assume this rename attempt has
succeeded, as a previous failure will already have been handled,
and we don't want to remove the source directory in this case.
* tests/cp/duplicate-sources.sh: Consolidate this test file to...
* tests/mv/dup-source.sh: ...here. Add test cases for same
source and dest.
* tests/local.mk: Remove the consolidated test.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
