[PATCH] Fix cg-mv for moving directories with 1 file

This is fixed by putting the file into @changedfiles/@addedfiles, and not the directory this file is in.

Additionally, this fixes the behavior for attempting to overwrite a file with a directory, and gives a message for all cases where overwriting is not possible (file->dir,dir->file,dir->dir).

Thanks for Alexander Litvinov for noting this problem.

This should fix the wrong behavior. Alexander, can you confirm this?
