[feature request] MV instead of RSYNC about cockpit-navigator HOT 4 OPEN

rsync is needed while moving or copying directories to allow merging of directories with the same name. To accomplish this with mv, it would need to execute mv once for every file to preserve directory hierarchy, compared to a single execution of rsync with the entire list of files. It is true that rsync is slower than mv while moving within the same file system though, as mv just renames files and rsync fully copies them and deletes the originals. I may try to implement having it default to renaming files and only falling back to rsync if the move is determined to be across filesystems at some point, so I'll keep this open until then.
