Description & Comments:
When moving a directory with some contents, on the target the directory is lost. Let me illustrate with an example:

We have:

/a/f
/a/b/ff

If I do:

$ mkdir c
$ cd a
$ fossil mv * ../c
RENAME a/b/ff c/ff
RENAME a/f c/f

So the tree structure is lost. Of course things get worse when ff and f have the same name, as then it results in an error because of the duplication.
