[PATCH 2/2] builtin git-mv: support moving directories

<Pine.LNX.4.63.0607261941210.29667@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>

This fixes the builtin mv for the test which Josef provided, and also fixes moving directories into existing directories, as noted by Jon Smirl. In case the destination exists, fail early (this cannot be overridden by -f).

Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>

	Josef, this passes your test.
	Jon, if I understood your problem, then this fixes that, too.
	Everyone: it would be cleaner to use "goto next" everywhere, 
	instead of all these "if (!bad && ..." constructs, but I'll leave 
	that for other people ;-)
