move task on directories wont always delete original directories

           Summary: move task on directories wont always delete original
                    directories
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: geoffm@isocra.com


unless you specify <move todir="foo"><fileset dir="bar"/></move>
or do an <includes name="**/*.*"/> or similar, the move task wont move a 
directory or number of directories across. It will indeed copy them and empty 
the original directories but they should be deleted as well.

E.g.
A
|-B
|-C
|-D

suppose I want to move A/C  and A/D to E/C and E/D respectively.
I should be able to do:

<move todir="E">
  <fileset dir="A">
    <include name="C/**/*.*"/>
    <include name="C"/>
    <include name="D/**/*.*"/>
    <include name="D"/>
  </fileset>
</move>

This doesn't delete the original directories where it should.
There seems to be no way roundthis (apart from maybe <dirset> or moving
each dir separately).
