Well, that doesn;t sound like "forcing" to me, but ...

Sigh, now I'm getting opposite behavior. I tried to create irb session to 
demonstrate the bug I was getting (@dir/@dir) but instead now it seems to be 
overwriting:

irb(main):001:0> require 'fileutils'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> puts Dir['**/*']
a
test
a/test.txt
test/a
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> FileUtils.mv( "a", "test" )
=> 0
irb(main):004:0> puts Dir['**/*']
test
test/a
test/a/test.txt

I traced it to the fact the "a" is empty. If one tries this when "a" is not 
empty it then fails. This doesn't seem to be "UNIX correct" either.
