["Felix Meschberger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12573069#action_12573069 ] 

Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-285:
-----------------------------------------

Hmm, I think failure is ok if the target already exists, even in a scripting environment. Otherwise you may silently overwrite data. This should not be possible. The other problem is SNS ... 

Probably the move operation must check for the target to exist and fail with a meaningfull message.

> currently moving a node to a new target fails (or worse: creates SNS) if the target node already exists. for convenient scripting and easier client implementation i suggest that the 'move' checks for existing targets and then removes them.
