This has been discussed on the coreutils mailing list some time ago:

- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-08/msg00042.html - no real conclusion, except that there was an agreement that there were doubts on the behaviour;

- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-06/msg00207.html, where the suggestion is to do a two-way mv: mv a B; mv B A;

Also, given that we currently have a block on the kernel (on comment 8 above), I really do not see much sense on adding an upstream task for coreutis; in fact, I see no reason for upstream tasks that are not linked to an upstream bug (or whatever). Back to the problem, even if 'mv' supported it right now, the kernel issue would still block it.

Personally, I would rather have it work, though.
