How about just allowing the user to specify a script? Then you could execute, e.g., "$script" mv -- "$old" "$new" "$script" rm -- "$old" $script=git would work as expected; anything more complex like compression/conversion could be implemented with a wrapper. If it were possible to configure a default script, I could try to detect whether the files were in a repository and run "git mv" or "mv" (etc.) as appropriate. -- Michael
