Severity: wishlist
Hello,
instead of attempting "mv *.gz dest" one is asked to perform a "tar" or the
directory or to execute "find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.gz" -exec mv {} inb/ \; "
. I don't like that so much. The semantics were clearly expressed with the
initial "mv *.gz dest" invocation. Instead, in analogy to tar, there should be
an additional argument to mv that allows for the specification of a regular
expression:
$ mv --wildcards "*.gz" "inb"
Please, please, please ... the high-performance computing world will thank it
you.
