Dear diary, on Fri, Oct 07, 2005 at 04:33:33PM CEST, I got a letter where Zack Brown <zbrown@tumblerings.org> told me that...

so it should keep the file under the original name as well, but untraced? That's weird. What about

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	if [ -e $2 ]; then
		! got_parameter -f && die "dest exists"
		[ -e $1 ] || die "no source nor destination"
	fi
	( [ -e $1 ] && mv $1 $2 ) && cg-add $2 && cg-rm $1

plus quoting and stuff?
