           Summary: <move> task behaves differently in 1.6.3 than 1.6.2
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Jason.M.Fox@jpl.nasa.gov


The <move> task behaves differently in 1.6.3 than in 1.6.2.

The following setup exhibits the difference.

SETUP
-----
Directory structure and contents:

build.xml
dirA
  -> dirB
     -> fileA


BUILD.XML
---------
<project name="ant 1.6.3 move/copy test" default="main" basedir="." >
  <target name="main" >
    <move todir="${basedir}">
      <fileset dir="dirA/dirB" />
    </move>
  </target>
</project>


If the above ant build script is run with ant 1.6.2 the resulting directory
structure and contents are as follows:

1.6.2
-----

build.xml
dirA
fileA

However, the following error is reported when run with ant 1.6.3:

1.6.3
-----
BUILD FAILED
/home/jmfox/ant-test/build.xml:3: Cannot replace directory /home/jmfox/ant-test
with directory /home/jmfox/ant-test/dirA/dirB



Obviously, I realize there are workarounds for the above problem (for instance,
a <copy> and <delete> do the trick), but I am curious as to whether this is an
intended change in behavior.

Thanks,
 -Jason
