SYNOPSIS
git mv ... ...

DESCRIPTION
This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink.

git mv [-f] [-n]
git mv [-f] [-n] [-k] ...

In the first form, it renames , which must exist and be either
a file, symlink or directory, to . In the second form, the
last argument has to be an existing directory; the given sources will
be moved into this directory.

The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must
still be committed.

OPTIONS
-f, --force
Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists

-k
Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error condition.
An error happens when a source is neither existing nor controlled
by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing file unless -f is
given.

-n, --dry-run
Do nothing; only show what would happen
