Okay.

Hmm, I can't seem to get it.

$ mtn add foo; mtn commit
$ mkdir bar
$ mtn mv -e foo bar
--> gives an error message, leaves me with foo and bar where they are,
and a record of a rename from foo -> bar in _MTN/work... sort of a
screwed up situation that we could handle better, but no assertion
failures.

$ mtn add foo; mtn commit
$ mkdir bar
$ mtn mv -e foo bar/foo
--> works fine, automatically adds bar as a side-effect

Well, if you run into it again, let us know!

So let us espouse a less contested notion of truth and falsehood, even
if it is philosophically debatable (if we listen to philosophers, we
must debate everything, and there would be no end to the discussion).
