mv: the --reply option is deprecated; use -i or -f instead


From: Dennis Heuer
Subject: mv: the --reply option is deprecated; use -i or -f instead

hello,

i just read the message as in the subject as i tried to archive some
web-pages. the problem with dropping this option is that there is no
alternative for --reply=no, if you think twice. this option is quite
helpful to not overwrite files of different content but of same name,
as is often with web-pages. this also can't be solved with -u. please
think twice and at least offer an alternative like:

-s  skip files if already existing

many thanks,
dennis heuer
