Hi [~pranet] 

Would you check and see if our current version 2.11.0 addresses your needs?

> When the destination directory is on a different filesystem, the documentation says we need to copy and delete. In case the delete fails, org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.moveFile(File, File) will attempt to delete the destination file too before throwing an error, but
> org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.moveDirectory(File, File) will directly throw an error without deleting the newly copied (created) destination directory. Is this intentional?
