At cithep, this is what happens:
$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ touch foo
$ mv foo ..
mv: ../foo is a directory
$
I don't quite know what version of UNIX cithep is any more ( At one
time this machine had parts or 32V, TS 1.?, Sys III, and 4.1bsd
pageing code ( cleaned up, of course )). God only knows where mv
came from!
