   9SYNOPSIS

  11'git-mv' [-f] [-n] <source> <destination>
  12'git-mv' [-f] [-k] [-n] <source> ... <destination directory>

  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink.
  17In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either
  18a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>, which must not exist.
  19In the second form, the last argument has to be an existing
  20directory; the given sources will be moved into this directory.
  21
  22The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be
  23committed.

  25OPTIONS
  26-------
  27-f::
  28        Force renaming or moving even targets exist
  29-k::
  30        Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error
  31        condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor
  32        controlled by GIT, or when it would overwrite an existing
  33        file unless '-f' is given.
  34-n::
  35        Do nothing; only show what would happen
