I would skip the first message, as isn't there no point in asking, as
it is bound to fail. No?  Yes, one could use mv -f.

cp doesn't have the message. Ah ha! See?

mv (GNU coreutils) 5.97

Thanks for the bug report, but 5.97 is very close to a year old.
You're wasting your time testing it, I think, because many changes
have been made since then.  Please try a recent version of coreutils.

(More generally, before reporting a bug in any piece of software, it
is advisabel to verify that you are using a recent version).

James.
